Not only doSpacelines from the Far Outplayers have to keep an eye on the various threats that can stop their voyage in its tracks, but they also have to work to keep their passengers satisfied for the entire trip. Passengers need food, entertainment, and more, and failure to provide these things will result in unruly saboteurs who go out of their way to damage things in the ship. For example, an upset passenger may make their way over to the gravity machine and break it, causing everyone and everything on the ship to float into the air. When the gravity machine is fixed, the sudden drop back to the ground may cause injuries, which requires players to have a medical station handy, and not all ships come equipped with those.
