There's nothing cannon with the Spyglass. The only story behind it was that it was "somehow stolen from the Liberty shipyards", which is a highly ridiculous idea and implies that the Liberty Navy is a highly incompetent organization that let its top of the line vessels get stolen - just like that. A bit as if the US Navy get hijacked an air craft carrier. But worse. And then they tried to hide it in a cave.
Now my point wasn't exactly to debate on whether or not hacker should have the Spyglass or not - it merely is a result of people that keeps bringing the Spyglass as a rather poor example against the idea of "long ships".
My point stays that big ships aren't made to go in asteroid fields, and that isn't my concern. But if your -supposed- point is that it isn't a concern, then why point it out at all? Is it because you are a loyalist hacker that sees in my post an attack against your beloved faction? Because I, don't give a peanut about it.
