Why does Rhienland only have 1 dockable battle ship?

I mean in the single player campaign they had hundreds, so where did they all go.
If you read the info on the ship it says it is the sole ship in the fleet left after the eighty years war.

I think you just answerd your own question.

If I had a nickel for every time someone told me that my idea for melting down coins to make a giant robotic parrot was a bad idea, I would have one kicka$$ giant robotic parrot.

All the shiny new battleships go boom in SP

Yes, there are also a few rumors in Rheinland bars pertaining to this, seen a couple where people say the Westfalen is the only remaining Rheinland battleship.

One of the rumors said the Rhineland Military is low on funding.

I think the rienland don't really need battle ships any way since they have those powerful fighters of theirs.

All of Rheinland's battleships were lost in the 80-Year's War; the sole survivor was the Westfalen. The battleships seen in SP were built with help from the Nomads, and when they were all destroyed, the Westfalen was still the only battleship left.

Yep. Westfalen is the only one of its kind now. Visiting Sigma-13 will show yu exactly what became of its sister ships. And you know what happened to all the ones in SP. Bits of Rhineland battleship are strewn alll over the Sirius sector. Chances are the Cruisers and Gunboats are their primary capitals(which is further illustrated in the fact that the Admiral whats-his-face in SP makes his doomed diplomatic mission in a cruiser).

Rockets: $100,000
The look on that pilot's face when you launch a full pod of screamers up his tailpipe: priceless

I noticed that he was in a cruiser, but that looked like one awfully huge cruiser, at the time...

the 80 year war was before the campaign, and there are DOZENS of battleships during the campaign when you try to get out van clausen, so the westphalen can't be the only one. maybe the keep them in a secret system, like alaska in liberty?

they couldn't have overun kusari in no time without a single battleship!

Didn't you read what i just posted? The Battleships seen in the campaign were made with the help from the nomads and were destroyed afterwords, leaving the Westfalen as the only remaining batleship.
