Is there really any chance that a player is capable of finding one Bengal carrier? How would the UEE react when they notice one of their ships being manned by unauthorized operators? If you're not in too much trouble, could you be hired by the UEE if you and your crew are proven elite carrier operators?asked by Knight's Landing

That's a lot of questions. So let's answer the primary one first, which is that it's not like you go around the corner and they're parked right behind the fence. Where do they keep the nuclear vessels? We're talking down the fringes somewhere. Maybe out in Vanduul space, a carrier that lost a battle. We'll call it a fixer-upper. If you want to refit it and get it back into working shape, and that's going to take some effort and some defending it, then yeah, you could fly it around. But it's not like you can bring it back and park it in the front yard and say, hey, look, we want to be your buddies. It's not going to happen.
