Hmm.. i have been floating around a while and discovered strange thing:

1. Maud is very easy to get: Three nations offer that one in very simmilar configurations (But you have to be admired i belive)
2. Despite being admired by sercos I can't get prom (10/10/10/12) in either sercos strongholds or skycommands. Why?
3. where is valk?

BTW: arolte i found your Warthog Teritory guard or sth. It has +700 hull

Damn. Well, while we're on the topic of nation specific ships I think they should be brought back. Vulture, Warthog, Prometheus goes back to Serco. Hornet, Ragnarok, and Marauder go back to NT. Centurion, Atlas, and Valk go back to Itani. Same rules can apply with leveling up and getting better Mk # ships. The Centaur can be available to all nations as a low level version of the trade ships, until you skill up to the higher Mk #s with higher cargo capacity etc. Low level non-specials can be available in NS and faction stations.

/me is deeply saddened at the loss of his beloved Warthog as being the ultimate Serco ship

/me is deeply saddened that the Hornet is still a flying target

/me ponders going back to NT to get access to them if nothing is done about it

Orion have a nicely aggressive Convoy Guardian Hornet avaiable in Ithaca O-9

stats please :D

Me wants stats...

My standing with Orion is neutral. Does that mean I won't have access to the Hornet, Spider?

EDIT: Checked. Can't buy it. Probably need to be in NT to buy it, or your combat skill needs to be greater than 9. Bah.

Not sure about the stats, Never cared much for the hornet as a ship ;)

As for Orion, I'm admired, and I have combat above 9... so you might need either.

(and I'm hated by NT, so that doesn't matter)
