I think I said I never saw anyone using the Falchion. Not it's not being used.
Well people are mostly taking the Borderworlds ships because of one thing: Stats. Hackers are rare already, only few I see is Jarek and the VR.
Why shouldnt they be able to build a Battleship? They are a very close friend of the Outcasts, deal with Cardamine, Artifacts and Counterfeit Software. Corsairs are starving, already cannibalists but still have a huge fleet of Battleships.
I think Gunship and Spyglass need a replacement. Make the Gunship look like a very super heavy Broadswoard, but still agile. The Spyglass, easy. But make it look like that the Hackers took some concepts of it for their Fighters/Bombers/Gunships. It should be light and have huge antennas, Satellite dishes, stuff like that.

' Wrote:Personally I think we need to question why the Lane Hackers even have a battleship... sure they stole it from the Liberty Navy, but I doubt the Hackers have the funding of the Order to reconstruct a stolen battleship over and over to lolraid NY with. <_<
I think the Spyglass is the kind of ship that should be limited, or only exist as a base. In fact, we could probably replace that zeppelin in vespucci with it.
No, they don't. You'll find we don't "lolraid" NY with our precious Spyglasses. A Spyglass is built only when we have the resources. HF does not build a Spyglass without arranging some kind of deal with another party for the supplies for aforementioned Spyglass's construction. Anyhow, the last time we used a Spyglass was when multiple carriers and a dreadnought attacked a gunboat and a fighter in California without escort. Even then, it came into play only with several bomber escorts, and still stayed out of combat until the combat came to it. You know how many player Spyglasses HF has? One. We also have the Fate's Hand Gurjiv mentioned, which exists solely for the purpose of watching for intruders in Vespucci. The Vagrant Raiders have one they use rather prolifically (meaning they might bring it out once or twice a month or use it when something especially large is in Vespucci), and the LH supposedly have one as well. According to the lore on the official server, however, it was the Hellfire Legion who originally captured the Spyglass (as per our RP story; the original LNS Ragnarok was the first Spyglass, constructed around the same time as the Osiris and used in our escape to Magellan).
Shagohad is right; only two "actual" Spyglass battleships are in existence. In other words, only two are registered, and any other one is assumed to be a cheap counterfeit created from stolen parts and is subject to termination. I personally, though, have never seen a non-registered Spyglass.
Gloucester: Yes, that was my idea behind the cruiser.
Boss: Actually, I like that idea quite a bit. It fits very well. But I wouldn't move ahead with it without asking Phate or someone from the actual LH, since they represent the Lane Hackers (and as such have a better idea of the cannon LH RP than us HFers).
Ash: The gunship and the Spyglass both look pretty bad. Both need a remodel and a retexture.
Gloucester again: I disagree with you on the Spyglass. I really think it should look like a Liberty Dread was taken apart and put back together around as much scannerish stuff as can be stuffed into it, then played with by geniuses for seventeen years... 'cause that's what it is.
