Yes, that's how I felt too!

^ Also, the better decision would be to have it "sitting somewhere for no better use", that way it could still be recovered and actually have a better use! It's a kiwiship! It has a purpose other than just sitting and looking pretty!
I've investigated the ruins of the ship, and there's pretty much no recovering it; even if there wasn't still block protection on 75% of the ship. The only two options for recovering it now is either rebuilding it, or getting asdf and co. to spend like an hour plus repairing it it so I can fly it off (which i would be pleasantly surprised if they did). I don't know what's going to happen on this topic from here, but I might as well start construction on a new kiwiship.
