Bonsoir pilots and captain, the High Command has now finished it's first review of the new Capital Ship policy, we believe it will help to maximise our current efficiency. The following is the basic 'pledge' that we will be issuing to new Council pilots who are using capital vessels.
You may as well be made aware of it now, as the core principles are exactly what we expect of even our more experienced captains.
1. Cruisers and Battle Ships are NOT to be sent on un-escorted patrols of Burgundy or Dauphine.
2. These vessels are valuable, do NOT loose them to the enemy in foolish displays of pride.
3. Do NOT take ships of these class into the near orbit of any civilian base - especially Nevers.
4. Such vessels commanders are given the honorary rank of Captain - do NOT assume you have total command - do your duty and follow orders.
5. Follow the Councils code and laws when in command of these ships. Failure to do so will result in excessive punishment at the hands of Colonel Blanchard.
6. Do NOT complain if you are brought down by the enemy, it makes you look weak. And Foreign.
7. Under NO circumstances are you to 'Planet-Dive' or Sun-Dive' to avoid destruction - it is a filthy foreign habit!
8. These ships are NOT glorified tour buses, they are to remain in Gallia proper at ALL times.
9. We might be at war, but these vessels will continue to uphold the Councils values - NO dirty foreign tactics, such as 'le Gank'!
10. Failure to comply with these rules will result in your dismissal from the Council Fleet.
For Gallia!
Regards, Alexander du Lac, General of the Council Liberation Navy
