Rheinland pirates in need of their own ships?

[alance]

Except that using "stolen" or "captured" ships will earn you the scorn and ridicule of most of the hardcore RP community.

Which is ridiculous since it is "hardcore" RP for a group like the Hessians to have these ships. The problem comes when most rather than a few of the ships flown are "captured", this is when the RP breaks down.

In any case I was advocating these ships be sold at Vogtland perhaps. Example: Red Hessian Gunboat which looks on the outside like a Rheinland GB but has a few differences in configuration - it is techinically a captured vessel but has been refit at Vogtland.

And Korrd, Red Hessians do produce their own Cruisers you know. They're not a scattered bunch of cells, they are a solid organization. Perhaps not a formal "nation" but I don't see how that can matter with their popular support and their facilities.
