(n.) The flagship of a fleet is usually the best-equipped, and most famous. The orders all come from there.
Taking out the flagship decreases morale greatly.

A play on the name of Flagship Studios; the developers behind the critically slammed Hellgate: London series.
It usually references to the fact that many of the game's features are currently broken, or bugs causing the player to be set back after doing a fair bit of work for a meager reward.
The example below shows just one of the many broken features. The current maximum character level a person can level their character to is fifty. However, there are many items dropping through the later stages of the game that are well beyond level fifty, many going into level seventy and higher character level requirements.
Player: I just found an awesome unique Arclight Fusion Rifle for my Engineer!
Player2: What is the character level requirement?
Player: 51.
Player2: You got flagshipped!

1. Slang noun adjective: describing the most prominent or highly touted product or service among those offered by a company. Derived from the naval term meaning:
2. The ship in a fleet that carries the Admiral, or ranking military commander.
sWindles is the flagship of MyCrudSoft's fleet of DCS infections.
Vista is the latest version of their flagship product.
The flagship of the United States is Air Force One, because the C-in-C doesn't usually travel by sea.

To be thoroughly screwed over in a laughable way by the incompetent design in an online game, usually specific to games developed by Flagship Studios. The origin of the term is from the game Hellgate: London, and the seemingly impossible number of major design disasters it contained.
victim: I've killed 65535 demons and now whenever I kill a demon my character gets stuck and I have to relog to continue playing!
troll: lol, flagshipped!
victim: I traded for an item with another player and I lost 1.7 million palladium as the game truncated my money at 9,999,999!
troll: ahaha, flagshipped!
victim: I paid $150 for a lifetime subscription as it would include special event quests and items for holidays, but the biggest holiday there is, Christmas, had none!
troll: Flagshipped!
victim: I just had a cool unique item drop from the boss I killed, but the item says "subscriber only"? Wtf is this, shareware loot? I can't even trade it to a subscriber!
troll: Yep, you got flagshipped.
victim: I unsubscribed recently, but now I'm stuck with the subscriber transmogrifier cube item taking up a lot of space in my inventory that I can't use and I can't drop or destroy!
troll: That's what you get for paying to be flagshipped.
