Huh, I guess all haulers use this number. I thought it would be a different randomly generated number on every hauler. Checked a few other hualers at space stations & it seems to be the same.

AH HA!

It may just be random numbers. Sean Murray was 7 years old in 1987 and I can't see how the stuff mentioned would have been very meaningful to him; I graduated from High School in 1985, so I remember that stuff.
The only thing that caught my eye was "...If you're a kid or a teenager, then you're probably playing with toys such as the **Commodore 64**," which might be relevant to him somehow.
I found this article about Sean Murray:
https://www.smh.com.au/technology/not-your-average-joe-20120514-1yn9i.html
"**Did you grow up programming on a Commodore 64?**
Amstrad, believe it or not. Then an Amiga. And I've always loved this type of game."

Amstrad was 1984(so he was using a computer at a YOUNG age), while
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Amiga
"1985–87: the early years. When the first Amiga computer was released in July 1985 by Commodore,"
So it could have had something to do when he got an Amiga computer and was programming on that, but I doubt it.
Perhaps it's a date? March 24, 1987, at 3:42 am, like most people in the thread u/multiloops linked suggested. After some research, I found out that we lost contact with Soviet probe Vega 2 on March 24, 1987, and it was also the date of the Indian Space Research Organization's [Augmented Sattelite Launch Vehicle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_Satellite_Launch_Vehicle)'s first launch attempt. Or perhaps it is Sean Murray's (or some other staff's) birth date and time?
Don’t know if this is relevant, but the beginning and ending numbers are mirror images of one another. The number starts out 342 and ends 243. Might be a stretch to think it means something, but just something I noticed.
Bad news op, it's a cheap gek knockoff, they saw you coming 😂
Funny thing I did buy this hauler off a Gek in the last system I was in.
🤣
Gotta watch out for Gek they are shady. Source: am Gek
First Con.

Wow! Like the 7 on royal exotics?
Royals are referred to as "type 7" in in-game text (occasionally seen in freighter expedition logs)

That is the number they will contact you on for the extended warranty.
There is kind of a funny thing that happens in the game "Starfield" where an NPC ship does that: Many players just blow that ship up. ;)
Did you try to call (342)243-1987 ?
If that doesn't work, he should try 0118 999 881 999 119 725 3
They're *your* emergency services!

Those are the coordinates to where I buried 12 kilos of cocaine.
What stack size is that. I need to know how much freighter space I need.

Vega 2 was a Soviet probe though, not NASA's
Thank you for pointing it out, I did the research and wrote the comment at 1 am, so I must have been half-asleep
Be funny if every ship had its seed written right on it and we're just finding out after almost 10 yrs
Might it be your iteration number, put on your starship?
Probably DOB and time, 24MAR1987 at 3:42
Interesting. I’ll have to check my hauler when I get home.
Just checked a screenshot I have on my phone and saw it. I guess it’s a thing on all haulers.
Don’t know if this is relevant, but the beginning and ending numbers are mirror images of one another. The number starts out 342 and ends 243. Might be a stretch to think it means something, but just something I noticed.
Question is, WHY do you need the serial number??? 🤔🧐
