The use of l3GS-1 Lane Hacker Gunships - surveillance data:
It looks like forcing all pilots who bought our gunship to obtain proper papers or lose the gunship is going to meet some disappointment among the Outcasts who are using them rather a lot.
Given the situation, I suggest that the Lane Hackers should stop selling the Gunships at Mactan Base, which is sometimes visited by civilians, Junkers and independent pirates and make the shipyards in Vespucci the exclusive selling point. I have envountered 10+ improperly used gunships so far, one even with a trader ID. Our gunship is sure well sculpted which raises its popularity, however even the most basic inernal equipment should not be used by some patty thieves, vutthroats and traitors. The l3GS-1 is after all the pinnacle of our ship development.
Quote:The Lane Hacker Gunship was developed as a vessel capable of disrupting trade lanes and extracting valuable data from trans-lane communication packages.
Well, that is of no use to those who can't hack USI.
Quote:The Gunship's power array is adapted for supplying the multi-processor servers located inside the ship and capable of accumulating and processing many petabytes of information. Although this ship is mostly used for covert operations, its heavy armor and strong anti-fighter weaponry will allow to fight back occasional patrols of the lawful military forces.
In other words, it's high-tech stuff for covert ops, not for fooling around enemy bases or openly engaging the Liberty Navy.
Selling the gunship to incapable hands will most likely lead to its destruction and that is a waste of resources indeed. I say the mere pirates should not be tempted at Mactan by the pretty looks of the ship. don't you agree? The Slipstream is built well enough for anyone who expressly wants to buy a Hacker ship ... but we just can't allow the gunships being stolen and then wreak havoc bear Freeport 4, which is supposed to be a safe zone for obtaining supplies for Mactan!
So if you ever encounter (for instance) a gunship that identifies itself as "Tusk", you can dismantle it withou hesitation ... the pilot has demonstrated hostile attitude and did not respond to any communications.
