Before I start my report of todays patrol I would like to explain my absence for last 2-3 weeks.
Most of it I manage to transfer while in Escape Pod.

Now some details. I was on routine patrol from Hamburg system to Omega 7. It was calm and quiet till I entered the Omega. On my way from Gate to Kruger station I was atacked by Unknown unit. Torpedoes came from nowhere and I wasn't albe to avoid the destruction of my vessel. My escape pod was heading back to my last docked station while the Ion Storm came. That's when my problems starts. Navigation memory was damaged and pod was drifting away from the Stuttgart Gate. I was trying to make the course manualy but it took me over a week. At least all life support systems where online and water supplies where good enough for me to survive.After setting course manualy I discovered the transmiter damage and the only way to send an emergancy signal was via nearest station system. I did that after reaching Ulm Border Station.I have arrived yesterday in New Berlin but I was too tired to make the report right the way so I am doing it now.
Now about patrol.
I started my patrol in Hamburg where Herr Gunter Weissman contacted me and gave me an order to go to Frankfurt system ASAP. After arriving in the system Herr Weissman told me to have a look out for a pirate he was looking for. On my way to Mainz I encountered a weird ship with a signature of Corsairs. First I thought it was a scanner mistake but after investigating pilot explained that it is his computer system error and he will fix that. Back to pirate hunting with Gunter Weissman I am afraid we lost contact with that one and he managed to escape. Herr Gunter ordered me to form up and we started patrol , we were heading Omega 7. On way there , in New Berlin system on Tradeline to New Berlin Planet we encountered a Hessian Gunship which ignored us and tried to pirate incomming traders just infront of us. He opened fire on one of those poor pilots train and Herr Weissman ordered to protect the trader. After quick battle with the Hessian we destroyed his ship although the trader lost the ship and the cargo. We did all we could but VHFs firepower was not enough to save him. After that we continue towards Frankfurt system and finally Omega 7. No danger on the way there. In Omega 7 we encountered Corsairs ship , Gunboat class , pilot name : Miguel Vasquez who was taking "taxes" from passing ships. After quite long talk with the pirate we atacked the escaping ship with a help of DHC bomber and we destroyed the Corsair vessel.
After compliting Omega 7 patrol Herr Gunter decided to go off duty for today what he did and I came back to Hamburg when I finished my duty as well. Summary:
