Wedding barges: I can't be the only one who..

Every single time. It cost me quite a bit in legacy fines.

"This is the best day of my life!" - "Then allow me to ruin it for you!"
"I haven't written my vows yet, what can I say?" - "Say OH MY GOD A HULL BREACH PLEASE I DON'T WANT TO DIE ON MY WEDDING DAY AAAAAAAARGH!"
"Please tune your screens in to the right frequency, help us celebrate this special day." - "Yes please do, for the pleasure of watching the groom burn alive the bride getting sucked out into space."

Bonus points if I can blow out their power plant or their life support and thrusters and FSD without destroying the ship. I then saunter off envisioning lovely scenes of slow asphyxiation, freezing to death and cannibalism.

Best day of her life indeed.

I like how sick you are! :D +rep
 
What we need is a toggle to turn off these really rally annoying "features". And just think, somebody actually thought it was a good idea to have this feature repeat more than once per year (probably the same person who decided not to bother testing the new multi-part Missions introduced in v1.5).

You don't live in a large city, do you?
Here, where I live, a convoy of honking idiots passes me every other week. What could we expect from a star system with billions of inhabitants and not only a single city (where you can experience only things passing by - in contrast to space, where you can detect things from light-seconds away)?

And I have heard, that many people die, too. The larger the population, the more deads.

So, actually, you should be happy for not seeing even more of these POIs! ;)
This is probably caused by the fact that only the rich and beautiful will be able to afford such sort of "party". But still, the percentage of celebrities and industrial leaders should be quite significant in an inhabited star system.

So are we thinking that these barges contain folk like Bieber and Kanye (granted, self professed beautiful people)? If that's the case, "Boris, fire up the Plasma Accelerator and hand me my hitting stick!"
 
So, wedding barges weird me out. On occasion I've gone into a USS and nothing is there. I hang around for a couple minutes, still nothing.

Turn on silent running, bam, a wedding barge rocks up. I can reliably make this happen too... no idea why it does that...
 
I sell weapons to rebels and anarchists.
I traffic human beings like they are cattle.
I wreck healthy young lives with the drugs I sell.
I blast open cargo bays, take my fill and leave no survivors.

Shoot wedding barges?
:eek:
NEVER!

What kind of monster do you take me for?!

I once went into an USS so close to the local star that my cobra was up to 90+ in heat... and it was a wedding barge and its little convoy... heading straight into the sun at a lesurely pace. Strange. I also once saw one of them broadcast "I don't know if I can go through with this wedding" on system-wide comm.. must have ruined the mood a bit. :)
Also, why are they always ugly lumbering T9s?... People should get married on Orcas and Fer-De-Lances!..

So far I have never been fed up enough with them to attack, though... might help that I am mainly an explorer and most of my game time so far have been spent far away from all wedding barges... the day one turns up more than 10kLYs from Sol might be the day I snap!... :)
 
:( sickos...

!remember, every time you commit an evil act agains civillians the pythons thrusters get a little more nerfed!

Noooo! not my Python! although I only use my Python for evil so I guess that's a bit of a catch 22

In Empire space they do get married on Orcas.. everything is nicer over there.. unless, you know, you are a slave
 
How often have I seen: "I forgot my wedding vowels..."
Yes, the IQ in here is non-existent, seems, lol.

You cruel people.. lool :D :D
Cruel?
wellwell, and here I was thinking they were so kind on them still... O_O
 
When I see someone admiring my Cargo on the coms, whether I have any or not. I know what is coming. I now start typing them back saying things like, "I am right here waiting for you Space Scum, come and meet death." Perhaps I have spent too much time in the Cockpit.

Hello SpeakerToAleins

Was that a specific mission or kill X Civilians?
I remember the missions back in beta, but I have not seen anything targeting a wedding barge for a long time.
Often wandered why they were still in the game, and assumed they were target practise/pirate fodder.

It was a proper mission (in v1,3 IIRC) - Find the funeral ship in system XYZ and destroy it. It had several escorts, which I ignored. I just bored right in and blasted it (a T9). I had to make several high speed passes until his shields were down, then I let him have it point blank with my multi-cannons while his escorts tried to fry me. I had to high-wake out to escape.
 
You are all horrible people.

:p

No we are not, there is nothing worse than seeing "3 cheers for the happy couple" appear on your screen to remind you that the only girl you ever loved 2 timed you, dumped you, then married the other guy within 2 weeks of dumping you.
Yeah lets have a happy zarking wedding just to touch the nerves of a drunk and embittered space pilot who then goes and blasts the wedding party with high energy weapons, yeah Sarah.. have a good time chocking to death after I've blown out the life support and smashed the power plant, I'll make sure your escort cant rescue you by blowing them up leaving you to die alone in the void, much as you killed my hopes and dreams.

<<back in therapy again
 
I lit one up with lasers once. Just enough to take a ring of shields off and give the couple a good story to tell their relatives. :D

"Who hired that guy for fireworks!"
