“So and so ““received”” ship such and such” … First off, very poor choice in wording. “So and so BOUGHT ship such and such” is far more accurate. About one hundred newbs a day ask “is it just random that people receive a ship?”. Second – I *****already****** bought those ships. Why am I being bombarded with in-game advertising for them?
Nobody knows what it was meant to be, but it’s definitely broadcasting the fact that someone bought something. It can be considered advertising, if you would like.
