** AliceAndBob are two fleeing earthers with a beat up looking ship. Charlie takes one look at it and asks if they are trying to impersonate a derelict or just don't know how to use it. Once he is at the controls he uses the ship's laser array [[MundaneUtility to clean and repair itself to look almost brand new and remove the markings.]] They blend in far better afterwards.

** The brand-new spaceships in the setting are pretty clean, but also glum-looking, grey chunks of stainless steel. To make them more pleasant to work and live in, as well as more unique, the first objective of any new ship owner is to do some interior decoration inside and put some NoseArt on the outside. For this reason, a ship that was inhabited for a long time both has more wear-and-tear ''and'' is more cozy and has a lot more personality to it than a brand-new one.
