Greetings officers,

today, january the 9th 818 at 2.30 pm the well known corsair gunboat Ell Moro was spotted in New London system. Convicted of tradelane disruption, along with being a corsair, I first prompted him to pay a fee of 100k first and leave Bretonia space. Unfortunately for him, from what I understood he would only agree on leaving the system - not the Bretonia space - and no way to pay his fees.
After a short hunt, he was destroyed next to Planet New London by Jeff Parker (bounty hunter), spontaneously assisted by a junker from the Coven Consil, Nathaniel Kiro.

A few minutes later we were reported about another corsair gunboat (callsign GRAF|XVito) in Dublin. After we found the suspect, he was first prompted to release the BAF pilots in his haul and to set course to Omega 49. He complied with the first demand, and almost with the second one. This is quite a victory considering he remained absolutely silent during the whole parley.
Unfortunately for him, stopping his engines sector 6D instead of jumping to Omega 49 was a mistake he refused to reconsider, and therefore was forcibly destroyed and his escape pod dumped in the hole by ourselves.

It's pretty interesting to see that Corsairs can almost (I say almost) learn. Both of them half complied to the BAF demand. With luck, maybe we could in the future peacefully drive them out of our space. Not that I don't enjoy to see thoses scum blow in openspace, I'm considering here the financial aspect of such operations. Preventing hunters to blindly shoot on sight could be good for the BAF finances.

Regards,
Lieutenant Martin Bridge.
