Well, when I was actually active in HF, we weren't stealing them, we we building them. I know a couple of the old Gunboat aces still have theirs, and the Liberty Gunboat has volumes of firepower, something the Hacker Gunship can't claim. There's a role for both of them; hell, maybe yours was sold off by the Hellfire when it got dilapidated or something; it's an old ship, being phased out of the navy for the Cruiser, maybe you got it off the black market.

As for Roleplaying an old ship...it should have some problems.
Quirks and difficulties, which, while handicapping you in battles, would be great fun, and excellent RP (the pendragon has spent 2 weeks with half of its guns offline before, was quite a change) Another story where this is beginning to happen is here: Linus's Lacadasial logs
