Added DiffLines:
'''Basic Trope Description:''' A ColonyShip on which colonists live over the course of several generations while traveling to a new planet.
* '''Straight:''' The ''Prometheus'' is a spaceship that is boarded by colonists once - and they live their whole lives there, handing it over to new generations born on the ship several times during the journey.
* '''Exaggerated:''' Even those in the afterlife have to stay on the ship as ghosts.
* '''Downplayed:''' The colonists on the ''Prometheus'' can spend time in suspended animation; due to this, the youngest of the original colonists manage to see their new home planet.
* '''Justified:''' Faster-Than-Light-Travel isn't possible yet, and cryonics were abandoned by the colonists out of safety concerns.
* '''Inverted:'''
* '''Subverted:''' When Alice and Bob board the ''Prometheus'', they see people living in families there and meet children who don't know anything else but the spaceship. But everyone's aging was stopped for the duration of the journey.
* '''Double Subverted:''' Until the anti-aging phlebotinum fails, and aging goes the normal way again.
* '''Enforced:''' The author wants the ''Prometheus'' as their own CityInABottle for the sake of social commentary.
* '''Averted:''' Generation Ships aren't used to colonize planets.
* '''Lampshaded:''' "Hey, Bob, do you really still think that joining the ''Prometheus'' colonization project was a good idea?" "Why not?" "I don't know, I just thought of all those fiction in which those ships suffer terrible stuff..."
* '''Discussed:''' "Starting our family on a spaceship? Why not?"
* '''Conversed:''' "Wouldn't join something like that. I would at least want a chance to see the damn planet myself."
* '''Deconstructed:''' Room fever kicks in soon, and there is barely a way to leave a situation. Conflicts worsen steadily, and in the end, the journey's original purpose is forgotten after several generations, and the ship becomes a CultColony.
* '''Reconstructed:''' The colonists are still in exchange with Earth, getting everything they need in case they need it from there.
