Or the obvious one

Player who doesn't understand the references above: "I've been playing for months, and I've seen Coffee Cup 2 and Coffee Cup 7, but I've never seen Coffee Cups 3, 4, 5 or 6??????"

"Kilroy"
"Foo"

It's (apparently) the origin of the 750t capacity of the Anaconda.

Legend has it that it was written down, but then a coffee was put down on the notes, and left a ring across the figure. Hence what was originally 250t got misread as 750t.

Well, that's blown that one. Don't they have spoiler warnings on Thargoidia?

In honour of my long-standing bad habit of sending people emails with the subject header, "Don't forget the subject this time", and in memoriam of all those old web-pages titled, "Insert Page-Title Here", I think, "Easter egg goes here."

"Shunt" and "Sgt Bash" would be fun names. Of course I'm just thinking of names of House Robots from Robot Wars.

"Tugboat Annie"

How about the "not-so-Glamorous Glennis" or the "Enola Gay".

If you don't want an answer, then don't ask the bloody question...

"My other ship is a Fer-de-Lance"

..had to get that one in while I was thinking of it...but maybe that should be a bumper sticker?

Oh well!

I didn't ask a question. How could I have written the "question" I did if I didn't understand the coffee references? ( <-- That's an actual, though rhetorical, question.) If you have trouble understanding tense, aspect and mood relationships in the English language, too bad; don't swear at me.
