bribing isn t enough, i think - its like "i stole it" - getting a warship from a faction involves not only an occasional reputation , but also a more permanent story about it - like ... its not what you have done to get your faction up to get it - but also, what will you do in the future that justifies having it.
will you aid the cause of the hackers? - cause only then, i see you get one. - so whats needed is, whats your plans with it - for all the hackers know, you may run to the navy and let them deconstruct the gunship to learn from what the hackers know.
