Soon we're going to introduce component degradation for ships. How is that going to work with Vanduul ships, since there's a number of player-owned Vanduul ships?

I've got the answer for you: Esperia. Remember that the Vanduul Glaive and the Vanduul Blade are not true, authentic Vanduul ships. They are Esperia reproductions of those ships. It's like Jurassic Park. They're not natural dinosaurs. They're genetically modified dinosaurs. So Esperia, who are manufacturing these ships, can manufacture the parts. Whereas the Scythe is the genuine article, and that's why it was provided once and never provided again. One must imagine that Esperia, being in the business of creating replica brand new components, could provide components for it as well. And if that's not the answer, I'm going to go back to Dave Haddock and tell him that should be the answer.
