Tell us about your flagship

This one isn’t actually my Flagship… though it might get that designation if we deploy the armor supers for the next war again, who knows? Either way, before I fly it into combat, I’m going to change the livery, for, well, obvious reasons.

It is, however, an important and significant vessel, even if I never undock it to fight.

● Full name of the flagship: Formerly I Suck You Dry, awaiting redesignation.
● Nickname: Pending
● Class: Dagon-class Force Auxiliary
● Age: Approximately 18 months since construction.
● Homedock: 1DQ1.
● Builder: DekSwat Consortium.
● Status: Undergoing refurbishment
● Souls on board: Current compliment 1500 engineers, assessing the hull’s condition.
● Purpose: Undetermined
● Reasons for flagship designation: See Below.
● Favorite moments: Acquiring the vessel.

Even if I never fly the ship again, it’s an important acquisition. Force Auxiliaries are the newest type of capital ship to see service in New Eden, and it was not until June of YC119 that the so-called ‘pirate nations’, the Blood Raiders, Guristas, etc, began attempts to construct their own.

This Dagon was the first.

By that, I don’t mean the Dagon-class was the first pirate Force Auxiliary, though of course, that’s true. I mean this hull is the first one ever constructed in New Eden. There will eventually be thousands of these things built, I’m sure… but only one will ever be the first pirate fax to ever exist. And it’s mine, now.

Quick update: alternative livery has been procured in Jita for the exorbitant rate of 1.5M ISK.

The vessel is still not rated for manned operations outside of tether range.
Potential naming candidate: Strzyga.

Edit: Seriously, how much could it cost to grab a few thousand cans of spray paint to make a ‘Sebiestor SKIN’ for this? It’d all be black! I wouldn’t even need to be able to replace the nanocoating later!
