I finally got a chance to visit the (in)famous Doomed Ship and I was very impressed. Environmentally, it rivals the visual sophistication of many 3D shooters. All of this was done with the same tools that you and I have access to — prims, scripts, and textures. The only missing ingredient is talent, which these folks have in spades.
Now, the Doomed Ship is intended for a kind of Sci-Fi sexual roleplay, though you’d be hard pressed to find a sex bed or room full of poseballs. Visitors can thoroughly enjoy their explorations without doing anything unseemly (for the most part).
Because this is a roleplay area it’s expected that you’ll do your best to blend in. There are inexpensive environment suits for sale at the entrance as well as freebie avatars if you don’t have anything sufficiently dark and futuristic in your inventory. The clothes from the freebie avatars work fine if you don’t want to change your entine look. As for myself, I donned my uniform from The Black Knight space station.
Read the rules and stay in character as best you can so as not to ruin someone elses fun with your blundering about.
The ship encourages exploration. The route you travel is usually pretty linear, though sometimes the way forward is not always obvious. The ship is bigger than you think, and each deck has a different look and lighting effect.
Be warned that if you are very curious about clicking things, you will encounter some of the sexual animations, which almost entirely involve being violated by an alien monster. Some of these come straight from Sensual Stoneworks, so you know what to expect, but it doesn’t make them any less fun. The narration of these encounters assumes that you’re a female. If you’re a guy, that moves them from Slightly Disturbing to Pretty Damned Disturbing. “Ha! I don’t have one of those orifices! Gotcha! Oh… Oh shi–!”
Lot of rooms seem to serve no other purpose than to look cool, though from a roleplay point of view you can find something to do with them. “Captain, if we keep this speed we’ll blow up any minute now!”
If I had a “violated by spider” fantasy, it’s been completely satisfied now. Really.

Garth……I’m laughing too hard thinking of you being violated that I have nothing to say….except thanks for the visual
I’d never gotten past the foyer to teh ship, now I must go. You can also buy some of their stasis tubes, and those naughty, evil green glowing tanks for your own ship. A friend of mine used them in a space station club build he had for a whole (I told people “Don’t touch the tanks!”)
Ooooo, must go! Are there visitor tags, or are you just expected to be a respectful quasi-rp’er to explore?
Yeah..sensual stoneworks…plenty o’ surprises there no matter your gender. And I thought tentacle sex was just for horror hentai. Silly me!
Nope, no visitor tag that I saw.
