CRUISE!


SS Galaxy - Queen of the Sagittarian Sea

Wandering in search of a newspaper 5 landed in a cruise ship! Looking at the map with CTRL M, it turns out that this cruise ship consists of 3 whole sims!
Always new wonders to admire in SL!
The perspectives on the deck are really awesome, because of the stretch of this 3 sim construction.
In the lounge, and indeed everywhere else maps of the ship are displayed, which is good because you tend to loose your way, it’s all sooo big!
Swimming pool, sunbathing, ballroom, everything is there, also lots of paintings. Hmmm, well, always the problem what to ask for this kind of art, is it a real painting, which makes it beyond all pricing, or is it just a picture of a painting, uploaded for 10 L$, and duplicated at infinitum?
Of course, of course, a casino, I bet it isn’t the only one in SL! Slotmachines too, tens, twenty thirty, yes yes, we know the breeding of slotmachines is a matter of a millisecond. Lol!
On the deck a huge dome can be seen, being the Galaxy’s ballroom. Nice structure, consisting of rows and rows of prim windows! A bit a calculation to get these windows right…
Good, very nice, for the events on the Galaxy, the ship provides free evening wear. Blue is the main color. Indeed other free assets, such as a tuxedo can be bought, also for 0 L$!
In the middle of the casino there is a horse track, for the betting, will it function?
Shops of course are to be found here, prim hair for instance, since the ship is a mall too. Sometimes the shops are a bit difficult to enter, because the extend two decks, and you have to cross two sims to get to the stairs between the decks and getting back, or would there be a faster way?
This ship makes one wander: what kind of structures could be thought of, to stretch a few sims, and at the same time retain a kind of unity.
Landscape of course, architecture, palaces.
But isn’t this idea great, not to build a landscape first and then put your things on it, but right from the start construct a world in the form of a gigantic ship. Indeed a ship like this IS a world. Some of 5’s friends spend all his time on two sims, rarely leaving this space, 5 could imagine there are people living on the Galaxy all there SL life!
Maybe ships, these cruise ships, are the largest moving structures in RL. Of course architecture on land is always bigger, but it doesn’t move. Ok, in SL this ship won’t move either. In that sense it is comparable to the stone ship in the summer palace in Bejing. Only the size!
