Guten Tag everyone,
I apologize for my long hiatus from work, but I had personal matters to attend to in Stuttgart for a bit. Though I do feel awful about not being here, it was a necessity. My return, though, seemed to be noticed by a few conspicuous folk.
First, while beginning my return with a variation of the Pullman Run, I sighted a Corsair Cruiser near Freeport 1! Thankfully the no-fire zone around the Freeport is actively enforced, and I sped out of the system as quickly as I could. On my return, the Cruiser was gone, thankfully, though it does not bode well for our nation.
Upon returning to Cambridge, I picked up some Luxury Food to carry to Manhattan. The run went well until I hit New York, where I was greeted with a Xeno and an Order agent fighting a Bounty Hunter Gunship at West Point. Luckily for me, again, they were occupied, and I slipped past to Manhattan. Upon returning, though, the Xeno threatened me with death, and followed me to the California Gate. Thankfully, again, a DarkWing Bounty Hunter was there, and saved me from the menace.
Very odd, I would say,
~Gunther Koch

Hello everyone, hope you are all well.
Completed several Pullman runs with no problems at all. At the request of the Bretonian Embassy in Liberty ( HMS Britannia ) i delivered to them a cargo of Lux foods from Cambridge for some party they were holding. I supplied these as a gift from Gateway and its employees.

Greetings All,
My apologies for the infrequency of my reports lately. Other affairs keep me quite occupied.
Delivered a load of beryllium from our fair base to Pueblo this afternoon. Ran into a Hacker gunship called Sick in Cortez. He had distrupted a lane, so we stopped to hear his demand. He proceeded to fire at the Trafalgar, even though we had already been stopped for several seconds. I told him to hold fire and I asked him what he wanted as he flew by me; he replied, "Drop your cargo." I thought it a bit strange for a Hacker to ask for a total cargo jettison, so I asked "All of it?" while throwing the engines to full and heading for the newly reparied trade lane. "Hold, let me scan you," he replied, but it was too late - we had entered the lane and was off. We entered California with the pirate on our heels, but he was unable to catch up, and we were free and clear by Los Angeles.
Nevertheless, I transmitted a few credits to him anyway, just for adding some spice to my trip. "I almost had you," he responded. Of course...

Greetings All,
Not much to report. Did a few pullman runs and then changed to Luxury food to liberty. Quite surprising that no pirates are around much.
Regards

Guten Tag,
Today's runs had a high chance of being quite fatal. Going through the Omegas I sighted a pair of Corsair Gunboats, one engaging S/D-Feral in his Manta. Thankfully, he escaped, and we met up and he agreed to be escort, as he was headed to Rheinland anyway. There I saw yet another Corsair Gunboat, but Feral stared him down and he never fired a shot. Good thing for that.
After I got to Dortmund, I figured that there would be no way I would go back through that mess, and decided to stay the night at Dortmund.
My lord that was interesting,

Hello everyone, hope you are all well.
Continuing my trade runs to Rhineland and Liberty with very little hassle. Although on one occasion i ran into a Kishiro trader in Berlin who insisted that Gateway openly supports the war and that we should watch our step in future when thier ships are about!! Very strange fellow indeed. Even though i explained to him our stance in Bretonia and on the war he was rather rude!!! Oh well it seems it takes all sorts eh....

Hello everyone, hope you are all well,
Trade goes well with little or no pirate activity. Even the routes to Liberty are quiet with no pirates sighted at all. I wonder how long this will last. On a side note, can anyone inform me where i can pick up a Advanced Cargo Scanner ?. I have just noticed i have a sub standared one fitted !

Calum,
You might try the Zoner planet of Gran Canaria. However, if you have poor relations with Corsairs, which no doubt you do, you might have some trouble on the other side of the Omega-49 jumphole. Other locations you might try, though I don't remember for sure off the top of my head, are Freeport 4 or South Shields. Our IMG friends might have something.
