To all Order personnel, this is Ikarius, pilot of the Independent Fleet. I understand you likely have more pressing issues and that my communication here might well indeed be unwelcome but as your other members have identified the situation with the Bounty Hunter Capital Vessels is getting out of hand. On no less than four separate occasions to those your members have mentioned, I have encountered these vessels 'patrolling' our system. Those were the words they used on their system wide comm broadcast. It seems to me that either little is being done or that what is being worked on is being kept to the utmost secrecy. Regardless, action needs to be taken quicker than it is already. When only members of the Independent fleet are around, and we usually have merely fighters, we cannot hope to dent their colossal vessels. Those Independent Capital Vessels that are about are in desperate need of training as they are hopelessly under skilled versus these experienced foes. To those of you that are skilled and able I apologise but not all of us are, theres still a good number of Independant Order Capital Ships that are being destroyed due to either a lack of skill or the enemies superior tactics. Now I understand the Order is more focused with threats outside of humanity, namely the Nomad and Infested forces, but when our home is so constantly under threat from these Bounty Hunters there is an obvious need for a shift in focus, if only briefly. My suggestion, though likely there will be no consideration for it, is for an increase in training exercises for both our bombers and our Capital vessels. Fighters also need to learn their role in these fights and all could benefit from even the most basic of training exercises. Secondly these attacks are showing no sign of stopping. We need to change that and they need to be permanently ended. The Bounty Hunters Guild as a whole has been far too aggressive and while we are a conservative organisation there is a point where the defensive policy is costing us more than it should. Its a shame that it has had to come to this but as I see it there is no other way for us to relieve pressure on Toledo and the Isis. The previous reports should be an indicator of just how severe this is getting if they are destroying our Capital Vessels, independent or not.
I hope you do something about this, for the Order stands to lose more and more if this goes on as it has been.
And again, we see these attacks. Mako class battleships and yet more Threshers. And still there is no sign of an end. Some of you were even there and saw. Are you going to allow this to continue? Because at this rate its a matter of time before our operations are severely hindered.
