I remember reading in a tour book that there is some system out there that actually has a station devoted entirely to cleaning ships.

Good for cleaning, bad for drinking. One can always trust that everything in God's creation has a purpose. Thanks for pointing out that this is true for Quafe as well.
You're welcome.

In the event your Quafe reserves run low, or you would rather not deal with the saccharine nature of Quafe residue post rinsing, you can just as easily use nanite fluid based cleansing solutions typically sold in lowsec or null. Withdraw your crew to station, quarantine your ship, remotely release the nanites from their dispersion systems you will have spread about the impacted cargo hold. Forty eight hours later the nanite solution will have reached end of cycle, and your hold will be as pristine as the moment your ship was released from its dry dock assembly line. |

Omen is a good ship.
Personally would just stay in the pod while flying it.
You can regulate sensory input, make sure smell is turned off.

I'd be inclined to start pulling up the deck plates. You may have cleaned the inside of the cargo hold but if a previous owner has been hauling beef or such like and the refrigeration units have gone down, then you can bet the highly perishable cargo will have started to liquify. If thats the case then you can bet it will have seeped into and through any little crack in the hold.
You've already said the ships not new, so if it was in a fight, had the freezers knocked out, earned a few stress fractures from impacts, and sold without a solid clean then BOOM, a ship that looks clean but has stink coming out of the walls. |

I'm not going to smelly lowsec or I'll get the stench on the outside of my ship too.

I like my crew though. I realise that a lot of you go through crew at a very rapid pace but I haven't lost a crew member yet, and I use the same people all the time. I don't want to make their lives any more difficult than they already are - it's bad enough that they have to put up with me as the pilot.

Last night while warping between systems, some of the guys in the rear crew annex heard a crunching sound. We docked up and checked it out, it turned out that a whole wall of tiles fell off the side of the communal shower block. Investigating further, we pulled the bottom row of tiles out - and there was that smell again! The bathroom is right on the other side of the cargo bay, and as it happens, the offal or whatever-the-hell had gone through gaps in the metal cargo bay walls, through the concrete on the other side that holds the bathroom together, and seeped into the tile grout, corroding it. So we're now ripping out the whole underfloor and re-doing the walls, that should fix the problem.
Wow, who would have thought that a Minimatar would have the correct answer all along? But then you guys DO spend a lot more time than most races in Amarr cargo bays, so I guess it makes sense. Anyway thank you. |

Well I can't say I've spent much time in Amarrian cargo holds, though I do possess an Abbadon, somewhere, I must admit to having turned a vast number of Amarr built vessels inside out. The subsequent salvage operations showed that the alloys used in the cargo holds of some Amarr built ships, while being very strong, was also very brittle and tends to crack and fracture under concussive shock (such as 1200mm heavy artillery) leading to the radiation shielding in the inner hull being exposed. If you're gonna trap a stink, thats where you put it.
I guess I should find your condescension offensive, but I tend to be a realist, and well, you are Amarrian, so... you're welcome. |

I don't allow my crew to loosen their clothing while flying. Stray fabric can get caught on sharp edges, it's an OH&SW hazard, plus I don't want to deal with workers compensation claims, so I make sure my crew know that correct dress sense is expected of them.
Oh you meant "losing". Yeah... haven't lost any crew, ever. Mind you I haven't been flying for very long so it's nothing to brag about, but just saying. I don't want to annoy them with bad smells. Anyway we fixed the problem so all good! |

It is clearly that you problem is not microbiological or organic in nature, since you already tried ammonia and acid based products. Are you sure that the smell is coming from you cargohold and not another part of your ship? Do you have the habbit to collect Frozen Corpses after pvp engagements ? It could be that your refrigerating installation is not working properly and they have began to seriously decompose and therefore causing leeks into you cargoholdGǪ
If this is not the case, your problem needs a more in depth approach on atomic level. You have flown you ship close to the sun with the cargobay door opened , itGÇÖs clearly that you have forgotten to deactivate shields so that the radiations may get in. Proof is that your ship survived your little experiment. No need to take the trip once again tho ;)
You can easily generate a source of radiation - while docked - in your cargohold . There are 2 approaches to this:
1) The classical Enriched Uranium core, but make sure that the Sterile Conduits in the core have a filter consisting of Hypersynaptic Fibers impregnated with Powdered C-540 Graphite as moderator. Needed quantities of Heavy Water goes without saying. The downside of this is the nuclear waste formed after, which mainly consists of Caesium and some traces of Strontium Clathrates .
Caution ! The shipGÇÖs cargohold and Reactor Control Unit must be shielded by diverting power from the weapons or shields to prevent any unwanted interference. I strongly suggest that you also equip your Omen with a Damage Control Unit ( God forbids for something to go wrong, otherwise you risk lifetime enslavement as a hard labor to pay for the damage costs done to the station owner where your ship is docked) ;
2) Thulium Hafnite . That because thulium is not particulary toxic to biological organisms as a metal and itGÇÖs also an excellent source of X-ray radiation. Hint: It decays in erbium and ytterbium , so make sure you purchase a detector.
If none of the above mentioned methods donGÇÖt give up any results, I strongly suggest you to contact Dr Caymus asap !
P.S. DonGÇÖt reprocess the ship, itGÇÖs such a fine vessel to have nüè ! |
