Editing Starship Titanic (section)

== Legacy ==

In a 2015 article, ''[[Kotaku]]'' contributor Lewis Packwood wrote that "perhaps the ''Starship Titanic'''s most enduring legacy" is a forum in the older version of the game's official website, which was developed by The Digital Village's web developer Yoz Grahame. The starship's fictional construction company [http://starlightlines.com/ Star-Struct Inc.] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140101232534/http://starlightlines.com/ |date=1 January 2014 }}, "a wholly-owned subsidiary" of the fictional travel agency [http://www.starshiptitanic.com/prelaunch/index.html Starlight Lines Corp.], contained an "employee forum" that became popular months after it was created, entirely through user-generated content. Users role-played as fictional employees and characters in the ship, and created scenarios, storylines and in-jokes that developed over years. After The Digital Village closed, Grahame hosted the website himself and kept the domain alive.<ref>{{cite web

Shortly after ''Starship Titanic'', The Digital Village (which was renamed to h2g2) developed an online guide based on ''Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'' called [[h2g2]], which became a [[BBC]] domain after the company shut down in 2001.<ref>
