Greetings,
I have made a lot of progress since my last message. I upgraded my ship to the "Colossus" Rheinland Train and im making a nice profit on the route i do. I've been lucky as well and not been stopped by many pirates that demand money.
First I would like to say thank you for welcoming me back. After I get through filling out my registry forms Ill have RepEx-Shipping|503 standing by for ship and equipment outfitting. I would also appreciate some intel on a local trade route or too. All the ones that I remember from the old days have probably long been made obsolete.
This is Jurgen Withispoon, captain of vessel 557 reporting of contact with a pirate.
I was on my way on RepEx designated kuari route 7, when the tradelane was disrupted in Sigma-13 near Gas Miner Naha. Then a vessel broadcasting a Junker IFF/ID appeard on my scanners.
The vessel also broadcasted this identification name: Gudmundur_Gudmunsonn
He ordered me to a stop stating this claim:
"Halt for scan time to pay border worlds transit tax!"
"2 million tax and you are free to go"
I had no choice but to pay him.
I hope RepEx Corporate office takes care of this individual, because although it does state I can expect encounters like these in my contract I'd like to be able to do this route without fearing for my life.
After experimenting with a few different trade routes Ive settled on my most profitable one. I have had a few run ins with pirates but have been able to use my wits to elude their pursuit so far, though I know my luck wont last forever.
Congratulations on your aquiring of a Colossus. It is a fine vessel and I'm proud of you. Please keep up the fine work, Republican and Rheinland depend on you. Also, let me know if those mechanics at Alster are lazy when they take care of your vessel, they're getting complacent and I need an excuse to fire a few of them to motivate the rest.
Be Profitable.

I hear Alster is constructing your very own Colossus Transport, congratulations and safe piloting. I trust you received the encoded transmission regarding routes and assignments?
Be Profitable.

I trust that any passengers booked on the Luxusschiffe have been offered alternative arraignments on the Hindenburg? Gut. Get those engines working again and see you spaceside.

This Junker, Gudmundur_Gudmunsonn, has made a very big mistake. I am glad you survived the encounter, and continued to turn a profit. A ship stuck in drydock and a pilot in the hospital are no good to anyone. Please report any further spotting's of this nerdowell to Corporate, we will put pressure on him.
Be Profitable.

Republican has been profitable this past quarter, and with the year advancing we are on track to meet and break profit goals. Black Talon is still understaffed, and if you spot any mercenaries that are worth the time, please direct them to Human Resources where they will be screened and brought aboard.
Also, the Bounty Board will offer viable bounties on pirates, please give me names to put on it. Captains, I am willing to put bounties out on just names, but including such information as affiliation, ship, where you were when the pirating happened, and any other tidbits of information are very helpful and could help a bounty get taken.
Be Profitable.

Herr Direktor,
Kapitan Neumann reporting from onbard the Luxusschiffe.
Maintenance is completed and today, we took the ship on a test ride throughout the systems. In Omega-7, while transporting vacationeers off planet Baden Baden, single foolish Hessian attempted to stop us , only to fail, getting no cash from me.
Ship sustained only minimal damage to the reinforced hull plating our engineers made (thanks to them!). We managed to safely move through the Bretonia and dock on the Luxury Liner Shetland, unloading the Volk hier.
I report the ship back in operations and again, providing cheap, fast and secure mean of travel for the Rheinland Volk!!

Guten Tag mein herr!
Tonight vhas a very exciting night for me! I was flying back to Rheinland in mein Wasupu "Stinger" and I encountered a Saumura Transport being pirated by our mutual "friend", Innocenty.Lamb. Zhe Saumra transport asked for mein help, and I felt compelled to assist. I managed to distract zhe enemy bomber and allow zhe Samura transport to safely make it to a nearby outpost. I zhen turned my attention to the Bomber. We jousted several times, and vhen it was clear to mein opponent that he vhas out matched, he ran with his tail in between his legs, promising to do harm to our company.
I zhen escorted zhe Samura back to Rheinland, where I slept for zhe night. The Samura also paid me zhe sum of $2,000,000 credits for coming in his defense.

Greetings,
Ship has been into service for a few days now, the engineer says it should be done in a hour or two. I just received the notice about the important routes to Aland in O3 and will be heading that way as soon as my ship is back in operation.
