If you don't even know the original intent and lore about the ship you so eagerly try to defend, then you better stop it right here and take the exit.
It's not even funny any more in any way how you massacre lore-content to have it fit your very own perceptions.
It's not that you took what was given at first and evolved it from there because of what you're now complaining so loudly. You just, ever to begin with, made up your very personal view about what this particular ship represents and from there on, you build your current complaint as it gets removed.
Echo summed it up quite nicely, what this ship ever was supposed to be.
