Hi All Smiley

A few weeks ago I decided to produce a little magazine for ShipSim. I first got the general idea from the VS forum, however I've tried to expand on that idea and include more in it. This issue doesn't have a huge amount in however I have big plans to expand if you guys like it.

I'd like to say a huge thank you to NathanC who provided all the pics except for the cover picture and for his wonderful article on PoR.

Please download and please give feedback on it, what you think and if you have any ideas. It really would be much appreciated!

If anyone is interested in writing a column about there experiences on multiplayer or write a review of there favourite ship please drop me a PM. Also send me a message if you have any ideas for stuff to include in the magazine!

Edit by Mark/Frank:
1. Download it from the VSTEP webservers!
2. Download it from FILEFRONT!

So once again your honest opinion on where it could be improved etc would be much appreciated and thanks to Nathan again! Smiley

Oh and I plan to release an issue monthly. Smiley

Enjoy reading!

Mike / SA Smiley

How about you put an information board about each ship every issue so next could have RJ4  Wink

Just downlooaded it. Marvelous! Maybe a video could be nice about the magazine but on Youtube Wink a Server that gets busy, the Framvik was a bit dead when I get on but Tore's second Marseille is busy some of the time. It would help promote it. Grin

Thank you Matt Smiley

I'll see about the video, perhaps after a few issues I'll make one. Smiley I'm trying to keep out of servers really but maybe one day eventhough I can't say it's overly likely. Wink

That would be great thanks MC! Smiley
