Hm...maybe an older Bretonian design that found its way to the Freelancer/independent markets over time / due to the war requiring more warships to be build and thereby maxing out Bretonian shipyards capabilities?
I'd have given Gateway a sellpoint for it, but then again, adding another sellpoint might be a bit too much work (no idea, never looked into that). Just thought it'd make sense that they got the designs for it at some point, considering how they and IMG now also got the designs for the Shire for example. Though then again, Gateway doesn't have a shipyard (?!), and I don't want to even poke at the possibility for IMG building this ship as well (they also build the Shire, which is then sold by Gateway), no matter how much sense it would make - I know there are some people around who'd explode in a fierce rage if such were to be suggested.
It's quite difficult, there aren't many independent shipyards...
EDIT:
I don't want to delay the ship being put into the game or into an update to be precise or anything with petty infocard complaints: even if the card just said "arglbarglwargl" I'd be fine with it, if I could fly the ship in game! :O
Just hope I don't have to run into the balancement thread when the ship is done...hihi...
