Semantics, repair it and throw it into a black hole :p Doing something so massively complicated and pointless will just spread the word about us.
Anyone else excited about *when* not if, TEST finds a Bengal?

how about we fix it up TELL every one that we crashed it into a star, and keep it under lock and key till we need it. or you know that would be a very nice damage sink in a hot battle. hell we don`t care if it gets trashed. Right?
According to the JJ Abrams Star Trek, a Black hole will simply let the ship time travel to the past leading to an alternate universe. Other Universe TEST Squadron will get a great new flagship and proceed to throw it back into the black hole to us. We'll pass it back and forth until one of us gets bored and then crashes it into the sun creating another black hole.

Hey Guys,
these are really great, no, fabulous ideas on what to do with the Bengal. Here's the problem, all of them involve us actually loosing it. I'm not betting on the chances we'll find a 2nd anytime soon after, and I seriously doubt the other orgs would destroy that asset. So how do this both strategically and testically (fuck yeah I just made that word up and that shits fantastic).
Simple. FAKE IT!
We're propaganda experts, we can film some actual auroras flying into it. loadup and offline world and stage a scene, use visual effects, whatever it takes. In reality, we have Montoya (or someone) quietly fly it out into the middle of no where fucking space. You'll need a chain of god damn starfarers to reach this. But when the enemy declares war on us, we pull the card out from our sleeve, they'll never see this shit comin. (wait i just posted this on a public forum LOL OOPS)

"Fake it".
In an org with intelligence holes so large, even a Stormtrooper can pilot a Death Star through them?
See the thing is, faking the destruction isn't enough to generate the needed tears to level the org up. What we have to do is destroy it and put out the video. Then we come back a few days later and say we faked it and have the other orgs keep looking for a ghost ship that we don't have while we look for the 2nd one. After we find THAT one then people think we control 2 of them and we level up.
Also if its in the middle of space, it'll probably be easy to scan down because of various factors related to exploration not to mention its size and signature.
Death Star 1 or 2? 2 was much bigger.
Both of them. Banging into each other like a pair of testicles as they squeeze their way through that hole in the underwear.

I'm not really that excited on a personal level. It's a lot to babysit and going to be a TON of money to get up and running.
Not to mention it would paint a GIANT target on our backs.
But yeah yeah it's super powerful and awesome blah blah blah, I get it. It's just a lot of work as well.
I'll totally chip in for the upkeep and help defend it, but sign me the hell out of the Bengal Babysitting Battalion.

That shall be the official name of the group that will run our Bengal. The Bengal Babysitting Battalion, or BBB for short.

I dont think you guys understand how far I meant. nobody will ever scan for this:
besides montoya will park it somewhere, none of us will know!
even if we dont fake its death, the fact that we re-hid the damn thing after finding it
1) its a smalll fuck you (we found the treasure... and we're hiding it again)
2) secures the ship without needing 24/7 patrol and reduces all risk of insider threat (montoya would need to tell you where it is, and you'd need to get a small army of fuel transporters and explorers to reach it)
3) I can smell the propaganda "Join TEST and hear the glorious story of the Lost Bengal"
4) In the event TEST has a large scale war with another org, we have arguably one of the most powerful assets in the game, ready for surprise attack.

Again, we have holes in our opsec the size of a death star. Any kind of clandestine actions would be very difficult and require keeping nearly everyone in the dark.I dont think you guys understand how far I meant. nobody will ever scan for this:

If we cannot destroy it, I say we blatantly use it in a way that will annoy all others. With that in mind I suggest using as the flagship of the Test Intergalactic Pub crawl. With it we shall drink all systems dry.
Systems will learn to fear our Bengal for totally different reasons, as it will signal the demise of their alcohol supplies.

TEST + OpSec = pipe dream...Never meant to be a military-esque/government modeled org.

I thought I made it pretty clear why this is a non-issue.
Im being 100% serious, the only person who would ever know is Montoya.
