That's it... Time to get the Advertising Standards Agency involved...

In reality it is only one cruise ship... you see sometime in 3301 the captain of a cruise ship wanted to have the best FSD to ever exist so he tried to build one himself.

It worked... at first but then during his first commercial flight in 3301 with the new FSD he supercharged it at a neutron star with fatal consequences...

As he charged the FSD it disrupted the quantum wave form of the ship and everything and everyone on board has been multiplied by the thousands and scattered across the universe, unfortunately the incident also rendered the GYM useless and deleted all flight data and to distract the passengers from the fact that they might be cruising around forever beccause the captain forgot the destination he scheduled never ending safety briefs and does constanly remind everyone that his ship is in the top 1% of all the liners out there. The endless replication of quantum copies of the ship and everyone on board might prove to be an everlasting hell for everyone on board.



The plans for the drive have been destroyed. But the captain of the cruise ship had constructed a second one... he gave it to his cousin...

The captain of a wedding barge...

So if I'm not flying one of those "top 1%" cruise ships, does that make me an Uber pilot in 3303? :D I still fit First Class cabins in my Python....
 
Maybe the number of total cruise ships is so astronomically large that all the vessels we run into broadcasting this line really are in the top 1%.
 
Why are they always late?
Why are they always having safety briefs?
Why are they always cruising round beige systems?
Why am I typing this?

hey, safety briefs are important. Last week one of my passengers tried to open the boarding passageway during supercruise...
 
Well, how many Liners have you seen claming that? And now, what do you think how many liners are out there in a Galaxy with some 17000 inhabited systems? :D

That's the best explanation I've seen yet. In fact, it's the only one that seems to tell the whole cruise ship saga. :D

100%. :)
 
reminds me -
are wedding barges and funeral ships still T9's
and do any of those ships carry anything worth sending a hatch-breaker towards them,
or does killing them have any significant impact on the BGS of the system?

Haven't seen Funeral Ships for ages now that I think about it - waaaay back before Horizons was last time I saw one. All the wedding ships are Orca's and Dolphin's now.

Couldn't tell you if killing them has any more impact than killing any other faction ship though there was a forum user somewhere who might have had a bit of an obsession with blowing them up wherever he found them. You know, can't say I blame him. :rolleyes:
 
Ah, but they never tell you what the specific ship is number one IN.

This one is in the top 1% in speed. That one is in the top 1% in terms of how many passengers have gingivitis. This one, the top 1% at being completely mediocre and representing no discernible statistical quirks at all.
 
The top 1% - for what?

Exactly my thoughts. What are the criteria? During my studies (long time ago) I had lectures about management and advertising. One of the things I remembered was: your company sucks and can't compete? make yourself a niche you're (and you only) good at and voila - you can brag about you're "leading company in X field". Totally irrelevant advantage but hey - it looks good on ad, right?

You know, this being taught really does go some way to explaining the world we live in. In my book, I'd call it misadvertising and lying. But apparently it's taught at college, now... :rolleyes:

I'd also like to know why I am receiving these broadcasts from said liners, though. Is there an amateur at the controls that doesn't know which is the internal and which is the external communications system? :D
