What kind of Warship was the SLS Golden Hind
« on: 27 January 2011, 13:10:59 »
The 14th, Mars, 2692 Martial Olympiad shows the SLS Golden Hind as the Best Warship winner, anyone know what kind of ship it was or where I can find that info?

I dont think that's been determined yet. The name doesn't provide much of a clue neither. It's either a reference to Drake's galleon that he used to travel around the world, or it's a reference to the Cerynitian hind, and one of Hercules' labors. 

If the latter, maybe an Aegis. (A stretch, IMHO)
If the former, I dunno.

The solution is just ignore Paul.

I'm pretty sure it's a reference to the former. Classic Ship name. Thank you for the response though ;)

Yeah, I reckon that's a fairly safe bet.
Still, nothing to do but wait for it to get detailed in a product one of these days.
