The LR offered the barghests in exchange for a ship, but that was adressed to the Hellfire. Not the LH~ , so a few rp messages shall be sent, maybe they simply need a small reminder to re-read the lable.
edit: as for the problem at hand. Imho, factions need to use their own ships, unless in special occasions, like high ranks or desirable RP, for example we rogues have our own sammaels, which are lazers and such piss poor against shields, you need 4sec of shooting with 5 sammaels to down a vhf grav shield. Krakens and Wyrms would be more suitable for this, but we keep the sammaels, as that is Rp. That is the prize we pay for being in rp and so should the others "suffer" the lack for pew-power as well.
