Guten tag,

Another patrol and I again came across a number of blockade runners. I'll be as to the point with the evidence as I can:

I set-up at the lane between Freeport 2 and the jump gate to Liberty when three ships came on to my scanner. There was a freelancer fighter and strangely a BMM Hegemon and IMG Atlas which seemed to be travelling together. All three vessels had full loads of cargo, a mix of beryllium, H-fuel and basic alloy. They freely admitted the cargo was obtained in Hamburg.

At this point, I understood that engaging would mean I could catch one at most of the runners as I had no assistance this time. So, I gave the convoy the option to turn back to Rheinland, drop the cargo or be engaged. All three vessels turned back to Hamburg and docked. I followed them to ensure they did not slip through Hudson. My guncam shots get a bit shaky towards the end thanks to constant Unioner attack and I stuck with the slowest member of their convoy, but the evidence is there.

While this might not be as painful a lesson as loosing their ships, the lost time should dent their profits and allowed me to stop all three cargo loads going through. I trust this is sufficient to meet your criteria of "intercepting" blockade runners.

I'm also going to assume that no one cares about a fighter's worth of cargo, so two transports would be 2 million SC to Beliskner.

I've attached all evidence below.

Gunnar, out.

Billy_Hill: Isn't this embargo for 'Rheinlanders'?
