Black Hole Resort Ships
From SEWiki
There is/was a "bug" in the game that does not clear a ships orders if they arrive to their destination with no movement points remaining.
This is actually a feature so you can create black hole resort ships:
- Create a ship with only two movement points and lots of observation decks, then send it to the system
- Give it orders to go to a sector two hexes away
- Advertise (galactic news announcement, if you can afford it)
- Set up shuttles to and from the ship for tourists (Important: Unlike the resort ship, make sure these have more than two movement points.)
- Charge admission
Imagine your honeymoon getaway to such a ship! "Slimy, oozing, pulsating spouse," you'd say. "Please direct your eye stalks to the viewport. See that area right there where you can't see any stars? That's the black hole! Yes, it's amazing isn't it." (Four minutes later: "Well, I guess we've seen it. Ready to head home, honey?")
Important safety tip: You'll want to have lots of redundancy on your engines. Yes. Lots. Think about what happens if they fail, or even need an oil change. Also, it might be good to have another ship standing by to tow the resort around, as it won't be able to reach escape velocity on its own.
