Four fallen is not a small army. Especially if just dregs and vandals... for novelty sake. And regardless of the Prime, the Ketch was just there for the taking. On top of which, it doesn't have to be a Ketch. It could be the Guardian equivalent, or a ship from the reef. Heck, im sure the queen wouldn't mind selling us a Ketch after taking down Skolas.

4 fallen? The house of winter is larger than the house of devils and those bastards are all over the cosmodrome. For the ketch itself the pilot is a serviter it doesn't move unless the kell says so. And dont get me wrong i think it would be awesome to have it but whats the point? Its just another load screen.

I think there's a small bit of a misunderstanding. The idea is of a player ship/home. I like ships, and hangars to store your Jumpships for visual evidence of your collection. Same with weapons etc. The whole house of winter under your control was just a way of looking at it from a Fallen prespective. I wouldn't expect to take the entire house of winter under my command. But as a means of obtaining a player ship... the mission we slay the Kell of winter, Taniks, even Skolas... are all valid moments where taking such an asset would be easy. If I had the option to go to my ship vs. The reef and the tower... with upgradable vault space on my ship, npcs and vendors to interact with, etc I wouldn't ever need to go to the tower, except maybe for Iron Banner bounties. You Ketch my meaning?
