There's a Wedding Barge So How About a Funeral Barge

Here's a few pithy NPC sayings to get the ball rolling:

"She died a hero of the Empire/Federation/Alliance/[Insert Minor Faction Name Here] but her passing has brought the whole family together like never before".

"He was a pirate and criminal. I'm glad he's dead. If the Federation hadn't killed him I would have".

"Let's confine these losers' corpses to the nearest star and get the hell out of here!"

I'm .......fairly sure that exists?
 
Yes, they used to be a thing, but haven't seen one in ages. Probably another unintended consequence of an update or patch that no one, including FD has noticed until this thread.

Pretty funny

Crucial "content" sorely missed...

Weird I don't think I've ever seen one and I have about 30 weeks in game.

There should be more of them.

Some more NPC chatter:

"Let's strap this corpse to torpedo and launch it!"

We had funeral ships in ED..... Haven't seen one in ages though.

Unless I'm remembering things that didn't exist again....

They still exist in the USS'. You will find them in ceremonial USS in bgs state famine, outbreak, war and civil war ;)
Sadly no longer in supercruise

Also the ceremonial USS used to be bugged in any other state than boom (wedding barge) and you need to wait a looooong time until the funeral wing got summoned. I don't know if it is still that way.

I'll have to take your word for it. I certainly can't remember that.

But what ever happened to our other old friends "seeking weapons"?

They also still exist but nearly impossible to meet. If you approach a station and suddenly there happens "mission USS detected!!!" without having any mission, than you will meet the weapons seeker / trader in this USS. They will give you a mission to collect cargo and bring it than to somewhere, but they won't take anymore your goods.

The funeral ships don't show up in supercruise, just signal sources.

The "Seeking weapons" ships sort of exist too, although now it's a random "mission critical signal source" when you aren't on a mission and when you drop in, Ariel gives you a trade mission in your inbox.
 
I can't remember last time I saw a seeking weapons ship or wing (although, to be honest, I've been in Colonia again since December).

I never had a lot of success selling to seeking weapons ships anyway and I used to do a lot of smuggling of illegal salvage (and still do at times).

More NPC chatter:

"We now commit the remains of our dear departed Commander to the Black........"

I think the funeral ships may show up in supercruise in Bust states - at least, that's the last time I remember seeing one - and those are extremely rare for controlling factions out here.
 
Heard one in Supercruise last week. It was saying something like "Prayers for the dead, prayers for the dead". Perhaps they are only in systems where Frontier has added locations memorializing dead players/loved ones.

Now on a happier note, how about Baby Shower Barges? Needs Biowaste removing. Stag Do Party Barges? Attach a hatch breaker limpet to steal Clothing and Liquor.
