Wich vessels would you like to see added in te future?
-
Definitely a cruise ship with bow and stern thrusters (like ocean star) but it should be free. Also a naval ship!
-
Stena Hollandica of the Stena Brittanica of the Stena Discovery ;D
I love this ships!
-
A car carrier and a trailing suction hopper dredger.
-
Ah... well... :P
If ship owners don’t change their attitude to this game then I guess all the stuff people with of ships and boats become fictional - or maybe not... :D
Soon you will see replies where people wish themselves ships like Queen Mary, Freedom of the Seas, Disney Cruise Line… Carnival and so it goes. :P
I hate to say it but that’s the sad part of this … so let’s do something with ship owners attitude, and make them understand. Or maybe we shouldn’t care at all and just add logos to these new fantastic ship models and we all get sued … If that happen, well there will be a media storm maybe, where this game get a lot of attention. What kind of attention this is (positive or negative) is hard to say. The scenario has not happened yet... I have not been sued yet for making the Emma Maersk model... ;D
Have some of you been in jail before? How is the food? I would like to know… :D ;D
On-topic:Whatever! Queen Mary is fine for me. I hope she will become a part of this game someday. ;)

Stena Hollandica of the Stena Brittanica of the Stena Discovery ;D
I love this ships!
The latter would be great! Have you seen her terminal at the Hook van Holland? Well, since she has withdrawn from service a long time ago, it's not very realistic to wait for her. But the other mentioned RoPax's may use the terminal ahead of the HSS berth.
Cheers
-
a aircraft carryer with interrior ;D that would be so amazing ;D

The terminal in shipsim 08 is completed for a stena line ship. The harbour in SS08 (stena Line) is great!
-
Caledonian MacBrayne car ferries! ;D They've got a great range of fleet from a 22m bow-loading ferry to a 101m RO-RO ferry. I'm not sure if they would allow their vessels on Ship Simulator though.
Also it would be nice if we have small passenger vessels such as the paddle steamer Waverley, Clyde steamers Queen Mary II, Duchess of Hamilton (a very beautiful ship) or King George V, etc.
-
you mention the waverly, what about the paddle steamers tht left ryde pier and did cruise around the solent?
-
Brittany Ferry's " MS Pont-Aven" or "Ms Bretagne" with moving parts
-
and inflatable rib would be nice and some sailing vessels
RNLI life boats, ocean going and inland
-
Maybe waterjets!
(http://www.jetski.nu/media/ovriga%20bilder/2007-kawasaki-ultra-250x.jpg)
-
maybe one of those boats that fills up with water and then lowers the whole boat and then the deck is under water so a bunch of boats float over the deck,then the boat dumps all the water and lets the boats over it's deck rest on it's deck that now is out of the water ;D that i think would be aswome :o
-
the queen of scandinavia
-
Maybe waterjets!
Waterjets??? The RED JET 4 has waterjets... ;)
-
A U.S Nimitz class aircraft carrier! :D
-

Hey, we call it FAIRMOUNT FJELL and it's still under construction for one of the upcoming patches maybe...

There allready is a rib in the game, and that rib is a recue vessel ;D

Well when they do Sydney Harbor in a addon pack for 08.. this one would be good:

-
What I would also like to see (and sorry, this is not a ship) is freedom to sail anywhere without the stupid "you've reached the end of the environment" thingy. Just as you can take off from any airport in MS Flight Simulator, and fly all over the world without limits, so it would be good if we could continuously sail anywhere without interruptions. ;D
-
Why isn't this topic in feature request?
-
I would love to have the USS Indianapolis in SS08! :)
-
i would really like to see royal caribbians librity of the seas or freedom of the seas that would be great

I would love to see my two favourite ships from the 1960s. MV St Ninian, North of Scotland Orkney & Shetland Shipping Co. Ltd (I have plans for her), and MV Lochiel, David MacBraynes - she was mainly on the Islay run. Unofficially I spent many hours at the wheel of both of them and I would love to do it again.
Here is the St Ninian:

Here is the Lochiel:
-
like to see a nice big motoryacht around 150 feet much like the one in 2006 shipsim

How About some HeavyLift Capability?

As I've said before, I really like smaller ships - 50 to 100 foot.

navigator of the seas:

freedom of the seas is the biggest of them, so if someone uploads again some pictures of the ...of the seas, you know that you have to choose the freedom of the seas, because that one is most famous ;)

I think a bulk carrier will be good, we have a container ship, and a tanker

we could use 'U.S Navy' ships;
or we could get in the free ships like ' cable ships , special purpose ships , tug's '
tugs : help ships to get into the port with line's..
and as scenery ...
we could use arabica ports ' Alexandrea(egypt) , Port Said(egypt) , Ashdod(israel) and Norfolk(U.S.A) OR
ARPAŞ / İSTANBUL :
you can take a look at http://www.arpas-pilotaj.com.tr/ (http://www.arpas-pilotaj.com.tr/)here
as I can see we got some important ships in the game but I cant see the scenery well enough to play ...
I just sended technical support but .. I hope you gonna help me for this.. :'(

i would even love to paddle steamers one day, i'd love to have anything steam powered, anything from the old Steam liners like the Queen Mary, etc, to even down to steamtugs, which i love. Here is a picture of the last wooden hulled steam tug around. The SS Master. KM

On of this 2 famous tugs ;)
We should do rescue in very bad weather if Vstep create bad weather

I'm form the North Sea Supply side of the business,
So I would like to see the DSND Mayo or Stena Seawell they are DSV's (Dive Support Vessels) they have work in the North Sea for years and are DP class Vessels,
The New RNLI Tamar Class Lifeboat would be good as you incoroprate 2 vessels in one (She carries a Y Class Inflatable Lifeboat in the stern and the transom drops into the water to deploy) see attached links

How about a working version of those floating drydocks (the ones we have had since Shipsim 06). I like all the vessels so far including the updated ones from 06 but I would also like to see sail-able versions of the inland cargo ships and the small container ships (that we have come to know and like for over a year now.
I also suggest a modification to the car ferry 'Red Thingy' with VS propulsion units. I find that the walk around view lets me see all the direction and thrust meters as well as the controls. all this is necessary to see in order to sail properly; so I would like to see special 'pop up' controls for this ship that include direction indicators (and a reminder which one is forward and which one aft.
The sim is really great and a worthy sucessor to Shipsim 2006 Good Work!
-
I would really like to see the Smit Rotterdam. When it was build, in 1975,it was the biggest and strongest ocean-going tug in the world.

i would like to se the new Color line boat: Color fantasy. its a great boat...its a ferry between Norway and Germany and its the biggest cruise ferry in the world....
-
I'd say the Queen Mary or the imperator, but they are much of a muchess with Titanic really, and unless your a steamship boff they may get a bit boring, so I'm going to say a smaller vessel such as: The RMS City of New York, Gallia or Etruria. Etruria I would especially love to see as she broke the B.Riband twice, was the last compund and single screw steamship and my great Uncle captained her and the Umbria around the turn of the century. Although I would agree with Robville, as one of those sisters would look very impressive in the game! :)
Thanks, Sky.
-
Maybe this towboat:

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A PEDAL-BOAT FO SHO ;D ;D ;D
-
Going on the QM2 in Sept on a cruise round the MED for 2 weeks, would be great to see her built for the sim, i will be taking lots of photos and video footage on the cruise so if any of that would be of help should anyone wish to build the model in shipsim then i could send some of it over after the cruise.
-
there is ideas of the last white star liner afloat that was a tender ship to the mighty olympic class liners the 'Nomadic'. It was the tender to the 1st and 2nd class people at cherbourg! that would be nice to see! also what about the quenn victoria , quenn mary II or te queen elizabeth II some of cunard line's finest
-
Yes, I want to see the Nomadic too, I think she is a important equipment for the Titanic over Atlantic Mission. I wish for the Titanic Mission also steam tugboats in Southhampton and New York.
You can made a Mission with the following points:
starting at Solent area, using steam tugboats to positioning the Titanic for leaving the port.
then first Stop on open Sea (near Cherbouurg) Stop the Titanic. Go side by side with the Nomadic.
Notrh Sea, whatch the Icebergs...
arriving New York....
here are the Nomadic topic:http: www.shipsim.com/ShipSimForum/index.php/topic,225.0.html

http://www.nomadicpreservationsociety.co.uk/index.asp<And our website
Yes, I too would like to see her in the game. I support this project and take it from me, she is a very beutiful ship! :)
(If you interest in visiting she has been open since April and is in Belfast-visit the website for more details!)
-
I would like to see like boats you would see on the Great Lakes such as luxury fishing boats like Grady White boats with fly bridges. I would like to control from the fly bridge.

Caledonian MacBrayne car ferries! ;D They've got a great range of fleet from a 22m bow-loading ferry to a 101m RO-RO ferry. I'm not sure if they would allow their vessels on Ship Simulator though.
Also it would be nice if we have small passenger vessels such as the paddle steamer Waverley, Clyde steamers Queen Mary II, Duchess of Hamilton (a very beautiful ship) or King George V, etc.
I Agree
I want ...
- Waverley (has to be in original colours as if just out of the fitting out basin at A&JI of Pointhouse)
- Jupiter / Saturn (rothesay streakers (yes i know...but thats what they were/are called) CalMac)
- Caladonian Isles (brodick - adrossan, calmac)
- DTPS Talisman (DTPS - Disel Turbine Paddle Steamer)
- Hopeton (s.p) (specialist harbour tug based in edinburgh....VERY powerful from what iv heard)
-
Got to have QM2 sometime!
(http://www.simplonpc.co.uk/QM2/QM2_PC-32-MarineA.jpg)
yeah
-
I have put this in to another thread, but I could aswell put her into my wishlist. ;)
What about this beaty?

I was hoping she was done for the new sim when i heard southhampton was being modelled, would have been great for the southampton scenerio to Newyork, i guess it would take quite a bit of time to model something like that, and how far do you go on what would be modelled for the walkround feature, something like the titanic in the way of areas you could visit and maybe the engineroom would be good?
Should have some good shots of the real thing after the cruise.

I would DEFINATELY be over the moon if the OCEANA of P&O cruises or the VENTURA of P&O cruises was
on the game of Ship simulator 2008 if not that one then definately a shipsim2008 ad-on disc.
Also I think the same for the BARFLEUR of BRITTANY FERRIES. ;D

I'd like to see some coasters from the 50's or 60's, I think they had a beautiful line to them, or an old liner like the dutch willem ruys. :)
-
Here are some more old ships...
-
I would also like to see thees 2 ships in the future maybe as freeware or as add-on
The first one is Constellation from Celebrity Cruises
(http://www.karcartravel.com/My_Homepage_Files/Download/Constellation%20B.JPG)
And then Jewel of the seas from Royal caribbean Intl

BTW, the cruiseliners you guys posted would be awesome! What's the biggest cruise liner in the world?
-
The SS France/SS Norway

I would like to see a river tow boat. Maybe some tug and barge action also. I saw someone had a tug and barge set I thought would be coming out on SS2008.
-
Hi,
I would also like to see a medium sized container ship such as the MSC Edith
-
and a product tanker such as the Kakariki
-
A classic Coaster without Bowthrust just single srew fixed propeller like the one of my father attached.
Greetings Ule
-
i want a crab fishing boat in the game. ;D
-
I would like to see a search and rescue vessel from the DGzRS.
Maybe the Herman Helms or the Hermann Marwede? ::)
-
I would like to see some Dutch Royal Navy ships, like the Hr. Ms. F802 Zeven Provincien
the mega container vessel Emma Maersk, perhaps if IJmuiden <-> Amsterdam will be included as scenery the ferry between Amsterdam CS and NDSM wharf, and the hydrofoil, between Amsterdam CS and Velsen,
I bought the game last friday online, as far as i had time to play it it look like a lot of fun but the engine takes up a lot of system resources, games like COunterStrike and Battlefield 2 run smooth on my ststem but this game lag's a lot. I hope the whole 1800 series of charts will be implemented ingame :D and i would love it when the whole Noordzee and IJ cannal will be put ingame.
-
I would like to see the Stena HSS fast ferry, which could be either made as the Stena Discovery, Explorer or Voyager as they are identical ships.
-
I think a midsize modern yacht would be great. Specificly one like the Pearson True North 38. Here is the site many great pics! http://www.pearsonyachts.com/home.asp

I too would very much like to see the black pearl in the game, but unfortunutly, sail ships require a lot more from the game. (Dynamics, physics, wind, scenarios). Maybe in ss09! :)
Oh, yeah- maybe not the beetle, but there is a car in virtual sailor. Its based on a real-life car-boat design from the 50s' which could make 7kts, so, hey, maybe well get lucky! :)
-
I'd like to see a seacat/superseacat which operate for the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company

A life boat and something big like QM2 would be quite nice...
-
Got to have the pioneering SS Great Britain.
-
And the Scillonian 3 a very nice boat.

How about the Sea-Launch Platform ? Odessy

It would be great if there was a Roll on Roll off car carrier such as Wallenius Wilhelmsen's Tarago or her sisters

How about the Sea-Launch Platform ? Odessy
I think I have seen that Whan I was on the Cheseapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. How about a Ferry that is desinged diffent but is like the Red Eagle ferry that is already in the game.

The paddlesteamer Hjejlen would be nice.

The paddle steamer Waverley would make a very interesting and most challenging addition in a Ship Simulator game as she does not have bow rudder or even bow thrusters. Just good old-fashioned seamanship to keep your wits around the seaways.

I want to see more different kind of ships. I mean we have already a Containership and a Tanker, in the Addon is a midsize Bulker. These are all modern ships. I want to see ships from the history of seatravel.
-Freightships from the 1940´s to the 60´s (like the "Cap San Diego" in Hamburg)
-older Passangerships the S.S. United States or the S.S. France
-Steamships and Tugs
-old coaster Cargoships (they look like stretched Fisherboats)
but I am happy about every new Ship in the simulator.

Yes, it would also be great to have her fleet mates PS Kingswear Castle and (the ex Red Funnel ferry) Balmoral included too...
http://www.waverleyandbalmoral.co.uk/balmoral/articles07/rye/index.htm
Waverley in particular is very famous having called at almost every pier/ harbour in the UK and her addition to the game would no doubt boost the sales of Shipsim in the UK. She would be a offer unique challenges to the sim in that being a paddle steamer she has completely different handling abilites from the modern vessels.
Perhaps for passenger ships/ferries such as Waverley a "keep to the timetable" style mission could be developed and included?
There is now a fantastic virtual tour of Waverley online at
http://www.billward.org/pages_wav/waverly.html
Also be sure to look at
http://www.billward.org/pages_ferry/map/map_ferry.html
and
http://www.billward.org/pages_waterbus/index_waterbus.html
and
http://www.billward.org/pages_kenil/start_kenil.html
to see why, Waverley's homeground in Scotland, the Firth of Clyde would be an ideal area to include in shipsim, in a relatively small area there are 11 different ferry routes including passenger & car ferries, waterbuses, a large seacat, a container terminal, a nuclear submarine base, tiny villages, towns, cities, victorian style piers, ferry terminals, fishing ports, drydocks etc

Sounds interesting, hope someone will make one to use in SS08. :)
Today I was surfing the internet and searched for Lusitania 3D, and I found an interesting web page with pictures of a 3D model of Lusitania. It was made in the 3DS Max.
Here is a link to the web page: http://www.alae.us/Lusitania/Render001.htm (http://www.alae.us/Lusitania/Render001.htm)
It would have been interesting to get this model into SS08....or what do you think?
-
I would love to see the Queen Mary II, and the Condor ferry.
-
Wich vessels would you like to see added in te future?
Loads of different container vessels, catamerans, crusie liners, steamers, definatly RNLI Boats
Sail yachts, war ships eg: aircraft carriers and normals ones. , narrow boats and loads more
-
The legendary SS Norway, which sadly is no more. (almost) :-[
-
i aggree that a big modern cruiseliner would be great but i would rather they opened up more of the interior of the ships there already are. then if you get bored whilst sailing you could explore the ship instead of wandering away then coming back after half an hour lol :) it would be sooo gud if you could walk around some of the inside of the titanic for instance
-
P&O cruises Oriana whould be fab to hav on ship sim i would die to bring her out of the solent!
-
smaller tankers maybe or smaller cargo ships :)
-
Maybe life an RNLI rescue boat called the Volenteer Spirit or jet ski's....not to keen on the old naval ships and war carriers....
-
A General cargo vessel, don't knoe if it would be supported, but a sailing vessel would be cool
-
For inland tug lovers, how about a nice pusher tug and barges. could build a good mission off of that
-
I'd like to see ships like this...ARTIC SUNRISE
-
Ou some big ones like...EMMA MAESK
-
I would love to see the ship from or similar to the ship from the 2006 remake of the Poseidon Adventure, "Poseidon"...
(And yes, I drew tis picture. I watched the opening scene of the movie enough to memorize it and draw it, with references back to the movie while drawing it.)

Is there any talk of submarines yet?

Nope, guess there will be no naval ship within the next time. I would be glad, if we get a few grey-ones for decoration or AI purposes only.

I would like to see a simulation of the nuclear cargo ship NS Savannah. A very pretty and unique ship. A large landing craft like the 178' LCU-2000 type. It would add an interesting mission in the islands and could be used to load containers or equipment with the cranes. also a Z-drive or Voith drive Tug.

I Think you guys should put in the staten island ferry. But its wheelhouses should effect each other. i.e. if u put the control 50 % Ahead in 1 wheelhouse, it should puth the control 50% Astern In The Other Wheel house.
-
something of Tallink or Silja Line?

The Staten Island Ferry! Waverly would be awesome too.

You know, even though it was a great lakes vessel, not an ocean vessel, I wouldn't mind seeing the iron ore freighter Edmund Fitzgerald.
Here's something about it from wikipedia...
SS Edmund Fitzgerald (nicknamed "Mighty Fitz," "The Fitz" or "The Big Fitz") was a lake freighter that sank suddenly during a gale storm on Lake Superior on November 10, 1975. The ship went down without a distress signal in 530 feet (162 m) of water at 46°59.9′N, 85°6.6′W, in Canadian waters about 17 miles (15 nm; 27 km) from the entrance to Whitefish Bay. All 29 members of the crew perished. Gordon Lightfoot's hit song, "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald", helped make the incident the most famous disaster in the history of Great Lakes shipping.
Also, here's some other info from wikipedia...
* Length: 729 feet (222.2 m) oa
* Beam: 75 feet (22.7 m)
* Depth (D): 39 feet (11.9 m)
* Net Register Tonnage (NRT): 8686
* Gross Register Tonnage (GRT): 13,632
* Deadweight tons (dwt) (capacity): 26,660 tons
* Rated speed: 14 knots
* Fuel: 72,000 gallons (273 m³) fuel oil
* Builder: Great Lakes Engineering Works (River Rouge, Michigan)

I must say, the Edmund Fitzgerald is a interesting ship. I also like the design of the nuclearship savannah.

Maybe a Sailing vessel with real sailing handeling.. ;D or maybe the queen mary 2 ;) or something like te ´zeearend´and ´visarend´from the Netherlands coastquard. :)

Hi, the boat I would most want to see on the game is the Stena HSS Voyager which goes from Belfast to Stranraer. I go on it a couple of times every year. It has sisterships going from other places as well.
The smallest one out of HSS Discovery, HSS Voyager, HSS Explorer and HSS Carisma would probably be the Carisma.
There are loads of photos on www.simplonpc.co.uk. Scroll down to Ferry photographs then go to Stena Line HSS Ferries.
Though another ship which would be great would be the Stena Lynx 3 which is another fast ferry.It goes from Rosslare to Fishguard.Capacity, 650 passengers, 148 cars. It is a nice small fast ferry. It looks rather like the Seacat which used to go from Belfast also.
-
Hi Nathanael,
I agree, a car loading HSC would be great. Guess, the most suitable fast craft for several existing areas would be one of the wavepiercer type, as your mentioned Seacat or Lynx. The HSS 1200, serving Hook van Holland - Harwich, was withdrawn from service a few month ago and the somewhat smaller HSS 900 "Stena Carisma" connects Sweden with Denmark. But wavepiercer type fast crafts are not as purpose built as the Stena ones.
Cheers
-
Hi again,
Thanks for your reply bottman. I suppose another type of ship I would like on the game would be the P&O Portsmouth Express. It is quite big. It can reach speeds of up to about 41 knots. It sails from Portsmouth to Cherbourg in France. There are photos of it on www.simplonpc.co.uk again. Another one would have to be the Brittany Ferries Normandie Express which is such a nice cool boat ;D. Photos yet again on simplonpc.
Thanks,
Nathanael
-
hmm i got an good idea there should be a map in the game with ice and add ice breakers or w/e they are called ;D so you would realy break ice the idea is hard to make i know but maybe its possible ;)
-
It would be great to include barges and push boats on the game.-

the mega yacht from 2006...with an interior...

What about a Cable Ship.. Like Alcatel's C/S Lodbrog... it has 4 thrusters 2 fore and 2 aft, 2 main engines, its a DP2 ship so it could be cool to add a DP consol to the controle.
I could easily see a mission where you have to repair a fiberoptic cable in the north sea or in the pacific
I have worked on that ship and know what a mission like that should include so if you need any help :o)
(http://www.marine-marchande.net/Collection%20Le%20Mens/LeMens7/Alcatel-Lodbrog.jpg)
or..
What about a seacran like The Swan (Svanen)
(http://www.kirstine.dk/fag/geografi/broer/kranen-svanen/svane_3.jpg)
Used for eg building a bridge
-
I love the idea of the svanen and aswell as the Lodbrog ship. Can always have a heavy lift mission with the Svanen, maybe rebuild the Öresundsbron! ;)
-
Yesterday I was working and came to me an original idea!!
It would be nice to have OIL SPILL RESPONSE vessel and missions.
May be it would be great to create a "disaster" mission in which black crude oil its all over the sea, and with one of the Vessels (could be a small supply or tug, or simply something like de patrol boat) the oil has to be collected or just captured with oil booms, skimmers, etc.-
Tomorrow when I am back on the office I'll post some pics so you understand what I mean! ;)

Hi guys,
first time I post here; well, first of all, let me say that's a really nice simulator. I hope with time it will be improved even more, as it happened with Microsoft Flight Simulator (I'm a FS fan and I still remember Flight Simulator II, about 20 years ago). As for which vessel I'd like to see added, well, that's one I'd like to see:
(http://www.ayrshirescotland.com/ships/jahre/knocknevis.jpg)
Knock Nevis, former Jahre Viking, Happy Giant, Seawise Giant; the biggest ship ever made. I know there's already a tanker, but well... that's almost 500 m; even Latitude could look short compared to it. What do you think?
Ciao,
Corrado

I think a lot of people will get bored manouvering it beceaus it reacts to slow.
The Knock Nevis isn't a ship, it is an FSO (Floating storage and offloading), but the Jahre Viking was a ship.
somebody allready modelled it for Virtual Sailor.
I would like some more indland ships and enviroments.
-

I know, but in my view it's not boring; :) trying to manouver this giant and to tow it, could be tricky (which means fun, for me).
The Knock Nevis isn't a ship, it is an FSO (Floating storage and offloading), but the Jahre Viking was a ship.
Yeah, I know. I wonder if engines have simply been unmounted or if they're still there and that thing can still sail.

P.S. Another fine addition to SS ships could be the Glomar Explorer.

I am in the agreement with all that say " MORE CRUISE SHIPS " Having purchased 2008, I am
really missing my ADD-ON cruise ship OCEAN STAR. It is fine to run around in the little
stuff, but that is not where the challange is present. Getting large ships in an out of tight
moorings is the joy for me.
I am also very hungry for some decent bridge design. All the big ships have these great big
bridges and 3 controls with two monitors and the rest is plain. Where is the imagination in designing
a ship like that for the simulation.
The program also needs alot more missions and interactivity with those missions. One of the best
things Ship Simulator could do is open the add-on ability to users. That made Microsoft Flight Simulator
and Virtual Sailor the programs that they are.
Please..please..more Cruise Ships.
I love the program though!
-
Yes, I would like to see a paddle steamer. One of the American types to sail out of San Francisco or NY,perhaps. What about a Fire Boat scenario?

Would love to see the Waverley,was on this ship. Some info--
Waverley
Flagship of our fleet is the famous WAVERLEY - the last sea-going paddle steamer in the world. It is thought that this famous ship is probably the most photographed ship in the world!
Built on the Clyde in 1947 - to replace the original Waverley that sunk off Dunkirk in 1940, the Waverley was originally built to sail only between Craigendorran & Arrochar in West Scotland. It is amazing to think that she now sails right round Britain offering regular trips on the Clyde, the Thames, South Coast of England and the Bristol Channel with other calls at various ports & piers throughout the UK.
Link to an unofficial page with some screens http://www.btinternet.com/~Paddlers/PSWaverley/

Hi Paul! :)
This is a bit off-topic, but you can find the answer to your question here:

how about the some kind of cruise liner
-
this might have already been discussed , what about inland waterway vessels? such as narrow boats or inland pleasure craft? i am a comercial skipper and command a 100ft inland passenger vessel on the upper thames. If you think driving a container ship into rotterdam is hard , try navigating a smaller vessel on the thames with 30 row boats and rowers and pleasure craft around who do not know either sound signals or the rules of navigation on the river, all that and your also in a non tidal waters but do have varying currents and wind to deal with.

P.S. Another fine addition to SS ships could be the Glomar Explorer.
corrado , the engines will still be mounted and probally used to a limited point for power onboard. these large vessels are constructed around the engines due to there size . the ship is probally used as a loading unloading platform due to the life expectancy or a major fault in the engines , but with the hull and equipment still usable , this is common practice with older vessels before they eventually get scrapped at the end of there useful life.

she is a huge fast baby 186mts long, 26000 gross ton, 22000hp and 22.5 kts top speed.
i dont really know when... we have to ask permission to Baja Ferries Co. to use the name, ship and logos. it is based on a real ship (Stena Forwarder(2001) - California Star). used to be registered in Bari Italy, but Baja ferries bought her and is mexican now, Runs every day between La Paz and Topolobampo in the gulf of California. AFTER the permission (approved of course), start to prepare her for SS08. and is a long way home. But the team liked her.. so hopefully she will be playable, 8)

Dockwise Yacht Transport (DYT), the world's only float-on/float-off yacht transport service, has launched its newest ship, which will provide yacht owners with faster and more frequent delivery of their luxury power and sailing yachts across the Atlantic Ocean. The 685.7-foot (209 meters) Yacht Express, built at the Yantai Raffles Shipyard in China, has an official delivery date of May, 2007. It will be the largest vessel of its kind in the world, purpose-built with a semi-submersible dock bay that allows yachts of any size to be safely floated on and off as cargo. Yacht Express will join four other dedicated yacht carriers, all semi-submersible, in the existing liner service of DYT.

Do you like this one????

Wow, what a creation, thats amazing, well done!
-
(http://www.scheepsmodelbouw.ismijnhobby.nl/homepage/show/1081417.jpg)
This looks like huge fun to me. I'd love to see this one.
But: Would it be possible to have it actually transport (ai/player) ships in shipsim? I guess the collision detection algo would (literally) go ballistic, wouldn't it?
Thumbs up for this model!

O man :o this three ships look fabulous ;) :D ;D ;D
Keep up the good work and i think we all hope to see them in ship sim someday! :-X
Here is a thing that i vould want to see in the game: :o ;D
(http://media.shipspotting.com/uploads/photos/441979.jpg)

maybe a modern tractor tug for a ship docking mission and or coastal tug and barge maybe an ATB.
-
Pieterurk, i was wondering how you managed to create such a ship ??? in how you did it ???
In which program (3dsmax, maya, ??? ???
please respond so that i can make something like that too. ;D
Thanks ;)
-
Peteryurk didn't build that ship!
It is a picture from the model from Dockwise itself.

Do you know how to add ships into shipsim?

Do you know how to add ships into shipsim?
You can't add your own ships to the game.
-
i done my blueprints of the argonautica ;D
from deck-a to deck-q ;D
btw where guys do you get all of those fantastic 3d pictures from?
-
the 3D pictures i posted are my own creations. And no, you cant add your ships to SS, only the team know how to add them, you just can provide the model, and they have to do the rest.
-
and now i can proudly present, The Argonautica
i drawed these blueprints below, there are 18 decks
(it is not so very good copy)
(http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m104/mrr_03/theblueprints.jpg)
the ship contains:
a grand atrium
a theatre
cinema
libarys
casino's
gaming rooms
restaurants
pools
private jacuzzi on each room
observation platforms
mashineshop
gelleys
4 electric motors
bow thrusters
stern thrusters
a purple/pink light of a dragon on the ''great wall''
waterthight doors
a lot of shops
purser
helecopter platform
and a lot of other stuff ;D
now i am planning to sendt these blueprints to a shipyard ;D
i hope you all like my cruise ship ;)

18 decks whoa. Thats alotta decks! Looks good I certaintly wouldnt mind taking a cruise on that bad boy 8)

thanks ;D

High sea towing ships would be great addons, beside the fact they are often nice and manouverable ships, they give lots of possibilities in terms of possible missions inside Ship Sim.
I have in mind the new Abeille Bourbon, which operates in France, in the North Sea, one of the busiest and most dangerous sea ways :

(http://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/IMG/jpg/14-1-2.jpg)
80m long, 16,5m wide, 6m draft
fully loaded highest speed (wind 2bft) : 19,9 knots
fully loaded highest speed (facing wind 7bft and heavy sea) : 16,5 knots
4 main engines of 4000 kw each (total 16.000 kw / 21.000 HP)
bow thrusters : 2 x 883 kW
aft thruster : 2 x 515 kW
towing capacities : two winches (200 tons pulling ability each)
And so on ... That's a really beautiful ship !

Sorry but... 75m, 200 tons bollard pull, ocean-going tug, same speed... what's the difference with the Fairmount Sherpa already in the sim? ???
Ciao,
Corrado
-
You're right on that point :) But that's the case for most of the proposals here, you can see lots of car ferries (quite similar to the PoR), tankers, cruise liners (similar to the ocean star of the addon which will be soon available), and so on ...
The gaming possibilites with tugs are (to my mind !) far more interesting than those of a supertanker which most of the time doesn't even enter inside the peers of harbours .

Well, you're right... Let's say that tugs and supertankers can be interesting together... Tugs also need something to tow. ;D

How about Floating sheerlegs?
Shipsim also has the crane-part in the simulator.. would have been cool if you could use the crane, and lift boats by f.ex. the mooring-points :)
(http://www.smit.com/sitefactor/public/downloads/images/K10-V_project.jpg)
-
yeah awsome idea ;D
-
Poseidion, Buismark, Olympic, Brittanic the list could go on all the historic ship PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
What about H.M.S. Britannia? the queens old yaht?
would be a nice vessel to show internally as well.
-
A cruises ship like Carnival Freedom or Costa Serena/Concordia, or Great Princess or something like theese ships.
-
well, i still vote for the Argonautica ;) ;D
-
Anything so long as it's large and floating ;)
-
oohaar! MATRON!
-
maybe a norwegian coast guard?

mmm.. i know it! the ocean star :D

Hey dbk218
Century is my favorite ship from celebrity's fleet with galaxy and mercury in my thoughts also i like the lines of all 3 of them, and especially now that century has balconies added.
but then if we sould have Century i want it after the refit it has gone thru in spring 2006

Now that would be awesome!!! This would put the game onto a whole new level. Realism at its best!!
-
Yes, the Floating sheerlegs is great idea, but i thought on something other thing. Would be awesome to make, and drive the famous US Coast Guards fleet!
Just see it.. Sure, release in a new addon name maybe Coast Guards: SAR Seas
try to catch smugglers, search with 3-4 rescue boat a lost boat, or brings ships to safe place in storm..Surching ships and try to find illegal contents, This is just some ideas. The best if you make hidden checkpoints, and try to find the ships with binoculars, radar and i have an idea with a sonar. The US coast guards have lot of special wessels, just see the training sailship, in this site you see the ships(boats, cutters)
Well, they have 30 ships ;D
http://www.uscg.mil/datasheet/ (http://www.uscg.mil/datasheet/)
I remember the New York mod for Shipsim 2006, and was great to see the Coast Guard ship there.
Ok, this is only an idea, not more..But just why not payware addons, like in flightsim? Historical addons, and SAR addons, Tug addons etc?..
I thought on another idea the Surface Effect Wessel HSS, or a Surface Effect plane!
-
Good idea.All about a submarine with a patch to make it go under water and see under water.
-
Moving the coromuel from the IA static ships to the active player ships would be a nice idea ! this little ferry seems very charming, and the 3D model looks quite good already !
Did you notice it, in some harbours ?

this is Coromuel in real life. http://www.simplonpc.co.uk/Mexican_Papenburg.html (http://www.simplonpc.co.uk/Mexican_Papenburg.html)
I modelled that particular paint from the picture with red letters spelling LA PAZ. the last three pictures (before Puerto Vallarta) are mine, you can see the credits. She is sailing today with baja ferries scheme
watch her here. http://youtube.com/watch?v=MDeQG7Ezg7E (http://youtube.com/watch?v=MDeQG7Ezg7E)
-
It would be great to see these older vessels (http://www.semg.org.uk/misc/steamer.html) addded to the Portsmouth Ryde route. They were not equipped with modern stuff like bow thrust etc and would entail using ropes more in docking in the traditional way.
-
this would do.

Hi Alfredo ur model Coromuel is very nice, I want to become its captain in ss08 ;)
-
As a new member and user of shipsim, i wonder if possible that seeing there are missions around the solent ( southampton docks). that the developers might consider the Royal Fleet Auxiliary landing ships that use Marchwood terminal, such as Sir Galahad, Sir percival.
-
A fairly easy win would be Pride of Hull (just clone Pride of Rotterdam and change the name!)
Could have fun with 2 of 'em!

You can find the coromuel in all the harbours, since you have the 1.1 patch.
If you want to find her directly, try the mission "Fast Crasft Sightseeing in Hamburg" for example. The coromuel is a few hundred meters ahead of the starting point of your Red Jet, along the same peer.
-
Many thanks Denis,
I'm actually using SS2008 version 1.0 and have not updated to add-on 1.1 yet as I wanted to wait until bugs have been reported in the beta version. I understand VSTEP is hoping to release the final patch on 12th September, so I'm happy to wait until then.
Once again many thanks for telling me where to find MV Coromuel.
Best regards
-
You're welcome Kevinmcg_ships :)
About waiting the final release of the patch ... It's your choice, but, sincerely, this patch solves more problems than it creates ... And it add really lots of things to the game ... It's worth installing it !!
Regards,
Denis

Oh okay, you've twisted my arm! ;)
I'll go and download patch 1.1! ;D

im glad you all liked my Coromuel! i will try to convince the developers of ss08 to make her a playable ship. i also hope to have La Paz scenery.. it is a very beautiful place in the gulf of california, mexico and the home port of Coromuel

What I would also like to see (and sorry, this is not a ship) is freedom to sail anywhere without the stupid "you've reached the end of the environment" thingy. Just as you can take off from any airport in MS Flight Simulator, and fly all over the world without limits, so it would be good if we could continuously sail anywhere without interruptions. ;D
i completely agree with this!!! it is soo annoying and i think i may have a problem with it! if comented on the problem though!
-

I hope you have an extremely good computer then! Do you realise how much computing power would be required to do this? I mean the environments take a long time to load on my pc and it's not really slow.
-
but they did it with ms flightsim why not with SS?
-

Flight sim is no where near as detailed as ShipSim. You only have to look at the environments to see how detailed they are. Plus they are huge and have a lot of Polygons.
-

Are you kidding? Just look at some payware or freeware addon for MS FS, not the default sceneries; they are waaaaaaay more detailed than SS08 environments. Not to mention that water is water everywhere, so no need for detail like in FS (mountains, etc); of course things changes if you want to simulate the bottom of the sea, but there's no need for it as we don't have submarines (yet). IMHO freedom to sail everywhere would be a very good idea, although I admit it will take some time to be realized.
Ciao,
Corrado
Edit: Sceneries are only loaded when necessary, no need to load the whole world at once (after all, I think I read somewhere it's the same with the traffic: loaded only in the neighbourhood, simplified when not in sight).

I think you should add a REGAL 5260.

a dredger like the Fairway of Boskalis. There must be a ship to maintain the dept in the channels and harbours!

That ferry has a bit of the Titanic :P

What about Dockwise 10 (formerly know as Dock Express 10.)
This is a special transport ship. The DW 10 is specialy modified to transport complet container cranes.
A possible mission would be loading two cranes by Nellen Kraanbouw (Maashaven), transport them to Hamburg, New York, etc. And put them onto the quay side.
The ship is also capable of taking aboard floating materials but als have many other options.
It is probably a challenge to build the ship in Ship sim 2008 but to me it would be great, even worth paying for because there can be so many interesting missions to be build.
See also the website from dockwise: www.dockwise.com or http://www.dockwise.com/vessels/docktype
I have a lot more information about these ships because I wrote a paper about heavy transport back in my school days. If more people are interested this might be interesting although I realize that the V steppers are overloaded with requests for ships.
-
A Semi Diver like a Dockwise ship is still in progress.
-
HI, what about Carpathia and Olympic and Britannic... or The World, maybe more old ships then only the Titanic;)
-
I think a military submarine would be cool. Even if it is not possible to make it go underwater, I still think it would be cool.
-
Why do you want to play with guns?
-
Attached (I hope) are 2 photos of T.S. John Jerwood, the Jerwood is a sea caet training ship, she is 100 feet (30 meters) long and I think would make a fantastic model for ship sim, it is a different size to others in the sim also.
The Jerwood is twin engined, has twin linked rudders and a small hydraulically operated bow thruster.
If there is anyone on the forums in the UK with marine experience (MCA or RYA qualifications) the sea cadets are always looking for relief staff, PM or e-mail me for contact details.
-
I think we need a dry bulk carrier.

What about a paddle steamer such as Waverly (tried to post a photo, but got a message saying something like upload folder full (mods?)
Could the physics engine cope with paddle wheels?

I wish for more of the workhorses of all kinds and inland freight-ships mooring and loading and tugging....
thus more harbours

god help us ::)
i agree the others, more cargo ships are needed, i would love to have a self loading bulk carrier where you could operate the deck cranes
-
When all the ss06 ships are added we'll have like 4 cargo ships! 8)
-
Ships like the following:
A 1920's cargo steamer like the Dutch ship Karimoen.
A 1944 type tanker like the Esso Manchester.
A container ship with the superstructure in the middle.
A 1930's or 1950's passenger liner like one of the Union Castle or P&O line
It gives a touch of history to the game :)

With you on that, Captain.
A Water Tractor would be nice. In fact, any tugs.
I’d like to see historic ones going back to side-wheel steam towboats on the Hudson River through the “Little Toots†of Moran & McAllister in the ‘40s. With the dearth of New York ship assist tugs in the sim, it’s probably best Titanic didn’t get that far. :)
The bright spot is Fairmount Sherpa. I hope her new French owners will continue licensing to VSTEP, because they’ve ordered a pair of 300 tbp AHTs.

ive always fancied my hand at an old liberty ship, that would be good, including deck cargo for some eye candy 8)
is there not one that was restored and is sailed around the american pacific coast?? , sure i read about it in a magazine somewhere??

carpathia and lusitania too

How about something from Russia/USSR?
For example, "Ivan Franko" class.

-
How about some landing crafts? Or a trawler. or a dredger
An aircraft carrier now that would be cool
or the ultimate..............................a pedal boat
-
I want my rubber ducky! :)
Failing that, some oceanographic research vessels, and sheerlegs.
-
Large LNG ship, Large car carrier, Emma Maersk, And a drill ship.
-
Maersk is a problem, in the past they have not given permission.
What kind of drill ship, petroleum or Oceanographic Deep Ocean drilling like Glomar Challenger & Joides Resolution?
If the latter, put my name on your petition.
Marty
-
How about a submarine?
-
How about just a general freighter? This would fall somewhere in between the container ship and tanker.
-
I agree with Warspite, the difference between the Sherpa and the Vermaas is a bit big, I wonder why the containership from ss 2006 wasn't made playable in ss 2008.. ???

Hey what about the H.M.H.S Britannic?

THe marautania!

Crab Boat and maybe even a new port up in Alaska area the Bering Sea is a rough one. sorry about the spelling

Got back from our cruise the wife and i, and got to say the trip on the QM2 was fantastic, did a mediteranian cruise from Southampton ;D
Cruised the Atlantic Ocean to
1.Vigo, Spain
Cruised the Meditiranian Sea to
2.Barcelona, Spain
3.Cannes, French rivierra
4.Civitavecchia for Rome, Italy
5.Alghero Sardinia, Italy
Cruised the Meditiranian Sea to
6.Gibraltar
7.Lisbon, Portuagal
Cruised the Atlantic Ocean until we arrived back to home waters then to Southampton :'(
Right back to what as i have said before, i would really like to see QM2 in it, here are a few photos of her i took while on our cruise.

Why oh why did they get rid of the ships from the 2006 version! Fine, add some new ones but to get rid of the old fishing vessel, motor yacht etc was a very retrograde move in my view!
Whilst I don't suppose a submarine would be possible (or would it!), I'd like to see some smaller vessels like mine sweepers, frigates, twin diesel motor cruisers and how about a yacht!
-
Hi!
I'd say a cruise ferry would be great. Why not adding Color Fantasy/Magic or for example a Viking Line or Silja Line ferry? I really love those ferries!
-
We really need bigger ships in the sim, and not repeats of the same sort of ships, there seems to be a lot of people wanting small craft,fishing boats,or ferries, I know we have the titanic as an ocean liner but it would be nice for something more up to date in the way of an Ocean liner,or cruise ship.
Is there no interest in them ?, I know that they would take time to do as there would be much more to detail but at some point it would be great.
-
JDB,
They are planning an add-on (free) for ships which were in 2006 version. So in the last quarter of this year (to the best of my knowledge) you will be able to play SS2006 ships in SS2008!
Do a wee search on the forum and you should be able to find a few topics about this.

Well, I guess one could say that more or less every kind of ship which I might have thought of has been addressed here already ;D . But, just for the record: I personally would especially love to see a scenario involving any Scandlines ferries in the Baltic. Maybe the "Vogelfluglinie" or Rostock-Gedser, along with the appropriate vessels. I might even be willing to pay for such an add-on, provided it was well done.
-
Hey Baikal, are you livin at the river elbe? Me too. I live in Dresden, where the steamships you postet come from...
I will send you a personal message....
-
For SS2008 in the future. a cruise ship would be nice. Also, a submarine (if possible). :)
-
How about a ship editor? A few input variables would be needed, like length, width, draft, engine power, propulsion and thrusters for example. Add some skins and the gamers can create their custom ships. ::)
-
I would love to see somthing like a ski boat where the player can controll the boat or controll a water skiier through a course as the boat goes on auto pilot and we would controll the skiier around bouys or over ramps and an option to drive the boat and see if we can get the skiier all the way through with out crashing them or going to fast. using the power boat or jet skii. ;D
-
What about a twin turbine powerd off shore racing boat 4000+hp 200+mph would be fun. or possible a some what fast moving fire boat and some mission where we can put out fires on other boats and fires near land.or improvise some on mission when we crash a boat a fire can start and then all of a sudden a fireboat pops up on the side we can click and if we can get to the boat we crashed and get the fire out the damage will go away and we can continue on our mission? is that stupid any one think?
-
I would like to see some "1,000 footer" Great Lakes Ore carriers and some maps/environments of the Great Lakes (USA).
-
Hi,
Just to keep the theme coming with IOW ships why not have te fast cat?
-
I think some relative small ships need to come in SS08. Like the blue/white with cranes of the add-on of 2006. Maybe a 18-21 knots feeder of around 150 meter; fairly easy to manoeuvre, still quite big and fast. For instance the 'Encounter' or 'Echo' owned by JR Shipping. Maybe if they are doing the 'Echo' you can also try to make the cranes moving so we can load/discharge with ship's gear.
Like I said in an other topic, the Mighty Servant 1 or 3 or similar ship. This ship is able to submerse to let oil rigs/yachts on board and take it over the ocean.
Of course the 'Rotterdam' cruiseship formely owned by Holland America Line should be in the Shipsim. This cruise ship has a great history, is beautiful and is now being restorated to serve later on as a congress/hotel in Rotterdam.
Also (betonningsvaartuig) 'Rotterdam' for laying buoys, if the name is too confusing you can also use the name 'Terschelling' which is the same type of vessel. Maybe it is possible to make missions for making your own fairway etcetera.
The Emma Maersk, I know what it is to sail on big ships(8750 TUE) IRL, but this one is off course much bigger again. Or the new 13.000 TUE ordered by Peter Dohle/Hamburg Sud(if I'm correct the design of Hyundai Industries & Germanische Lloyd) which has the bridge on 1/3 of the length and the engine on 2/3 of the length.

I think that the local passenger ferry 'Graemsay' where I live would be a good addition to Shipsim 2008.
-
I Think that it would be a great addition to shipsim 08, and where did you get the photo from?

I think a ferryship such as sails along the Amazon would be nice, with Amazon environment of course ;)

why not a aircraft carrier with flyable planes ;D or a battleship or a destroyer maby a submarine :D

More passenger ships, like QM2 (which has been talked about a lot), or Freedom of the seas or Genesis class, which is being built (world largest passenger ship when complete)... :)
-
I think a navy ship or sub would be great, especialy the navy ship, if it has a turret on the ship make some small land mass area as a target range or something and make the turret so it can be fired etc.

Then the name of this game would probably be "Ship Simulator Combat Simulator". :P
I rather stick to the idea about nautical simulation rather than navy combat/warfare simulation.
But of course VSTEP can always start to make a navy combat simulator (as a new game title) if this will sell better than Ship Simulator (since we humans like shooting, bombing, warfare games... strange enough in a world filled up with violence). :-\

I'd like to see British Paddle Steamers, maybe PS Waverley, or PS Ryde or PS Kingswear Castle. Also, steamships, steamtugs anything steam. Also, we should be able to gor INTO the engine room and control the engine in the engine room, be able to oil them and on the steamships maybe stoke the boiler?
-
I think that this car ferry 'Hamnavoe' based in the Orkney Isles would be a good addition.
-
I know it wouldnt happen but a north carolina or the battleship wisconson Picture below. ;) The battle ship is at a museam in the city I live in. ;)
-
erm i think it would be good if you guys did the whole of portsmouth harbour. things were missing such as continental ferry port and whitelink terminals.. maybe a mont sant michel and a st claire or saint faith would be nice?
-
On an other thread regarding the Royal Navy's P2000s a few people have said they would like to see a warship or two, therefore how about the RNs new Type 45 - Daring Class?

How about a canal cruise through Amsterdam on one of these boats..? ;)

It would be interesting to finish off the various tugboat towing missions with a trip to a functional floating drydock. ::)

Normand Installer or Far Grip ;D

Flotta Lass and Herston Lass
-
Several Navy units would be fine. Forrestal and Nimitz class carriers,Invincible,Ticonderoga class,Arleigh Burke,FFG7,Wasp or the big Fleet Oilers and resuply ships like Sacramento and Cimarron class.
Also,would you like to implement submarines? vintage and modern ones?
-
What i have dreamed of for years it seems, is a sim where i can take out my own trawler/fishing boat from say the Shetlands for instance, and experience that which i have witnessed on the TV series 'Trawler Men'. To go out in all weathers, boat bouncing about on 20 ft waves, trying to haul in the nets without falling overboard. All from the safety of my own chair *smile*. Quite frankly i'm scared of water that's taller than me, but i reckon a computor sim catching fish in the wild north sea would be infinitely more exiting than swanning about in a luxury cruise ship anyday. I have just aquired my Ship Sim 2008 and have downloaded the update and mission editor and i am totally hooked. It could be that living on the Solent has something to do it. makes all the difference to recognise the surroundings don't you think. Anyway i have managed to get various ships plying their trade up and down Southampton Water, and the I.O.W ferries are up and running too. Brilliant, that msion editor. Only wish the one in Rail Simulator was so easy to use, but that's another story. One thing that's odd about Calshot Spit though. I seem to be missing the castle!..Everything else is there..Odd!. Anyway Thanks LightHouse for a brilliant sim, and please can you caome up with a scenario for a trawler. Regards Brian.

-
how about Titanics sister ships. Olympic and Britannic
-
I think what V-Step has done so far is pretty good, rather that just keep adding more of the same type of vessel eg let's have 20 ferries from different companies they have tried to give us ships which do as many different jobs as possible. I think that's the best approach as it gives a greater appreciation of the full range of maritime activities and consequently makes the game much more challenging, varied and rewarding. If I were VStep I'd keep working on that adding fire fighting capabilities and incorporating the submerging heavy lifter Fairmount Fjell we saw in the early tech video etc
-
;)I would like tankers and cruise liners also more enviroments and also a fire boat alsoi it has to be free

Yes. Brilliant idea... Vstep. Please spend hours and hours of development time and then give it away free...
Wow! I bet the Chief Exec of Vstep is jumping up and down with delight at the idea of giving way all his work free of charge.
Next you'll be asking for free Marmite : :o

@Stuart2007
Why that reply??
Are you asking Vstep to make their game more expensive?
I agree, his reply is a little bit stupid. (tankers, cruiseliners and a fire boat are allready in the game)
But patches (with for example one add-on ship) should be free.
@Trains
Why add two more ships wich allready are in the game?
@sonarman
I couldn't agree more!
People keep asking for ferry's and cruiseliners!
What I would like to see added are Inland ships. Why?
It is verry challenging to manouver them, in and out of locks and to Navigate them trough busy channels and ports.
On inland ships, you really 'manouver' the ship. You don't just set sail to the sea and just hang there around doing allmost Nothing (except admiring the ship) but you really have to use your skills to manouver the ship.

I don't mean to be patronising, but why should ANY developer make things free? A patch to repair a bug, yes- but new features? Who is going to pay for all Vsteps costs if they give things away free? Do you not realise how much work goes into it?

I would still like to see some Navy ships, i know Vstep has a model of a Karel Doorman class Multipurpose frigate, they use it in a other professinal application they can use this model (exterior) design a simpel interrior and put it ingame, and if the Koninklijke marine starts complaining about possible copyrights etc screw them (its my tax money they build it of in the first place)
Nothing make my heart go faster then the sound of a Rolls Royce Spey Turbine on full throttle and the sight of it making a full 180 turn in a 1 mile radius

Merry Christmas all

Wich vessels would you like to see added in te future?
I would like a LPG tanker.

I whould like to see GTS Finnjet, she is a cruise/car-ferry.
Two new Harbor tugs whold be nice, one with SCHOTTEL rudderpropellers, and one harbor "traktor"/tug with Voith Schneider Propellers.
-
In memory of the crew of the Flying Phantom tug that sank recently, it should be added in the future.
Also, vessels such as the P&O Pride of Bruges, and maybe the Stena Voyager high speed ships should be included.

If any of you use Trainz, an excellent railway simulator, you will know that as their community developed, talented members created locomotives, rolling stock, scenery etc. which are downloadable. The majority of it is free, but some of the creators charge for their work. Good for them, it takes many hours to create a complex item. At the end of the day, the choice is yours, accept what you are given with good grace, or pay.
I hope that this community develops in popularity, and creative folks do add to the ships available. It's early days yet though, let's keep positive.

the queen mary two would be awesome
-
More powerfull TUG's just like ASD and ore VS tug, really different than what we have in the game today.
Considering the particulars of the small tug in the game she is not the best option to assist the VERMAS and LATITUDE today also the Russian Tug she is not good maneuvarable to act properlly during handling those big ship's.
As humors shows that a big bulk carrier can come into the game is important to have more powerfull and agile tugs as the ASD tug wich todays had they excense of commands into the OCEAN STAR, so would be a bit easy for VS to creat this type of tug, is important that she must act with behavior of a 60 and or up to 100 tons bollard pull tug. With fwd and Aft towing winches.
hope VS will hear us with they good job :)
-
- Product tanker 110-150 metres length, 15-25 m beam, 7-9 m draught
- Feeder 100-150 metres, 15-25 beam, 7-8 m draught
- Small coaster 70-95 metres length
- Vermaas with NO containers - in ballast
More cargo ships rather than more small crafts like patrol boats and so on...
And yes - no "unclever" obstructions (like the missing window on the P&O Ferry making it impossible to see the bow from the bridge wings).
-
Me and a friend would like to see a boat like them they use on deadliest catch or a normally fishing boat :)
something like the fishboat in shimsim06 ;)
maybe a stonger tugboat to use in the harbours.
and maybe a yatch or sailboats..:)
If the fishboats is comming in to the game in the future we would be happy if it came missons with the boat. like fishing at night in hard weather.
And it doesent have mutch to do with this but I think it would be fun if it could be snow storms. and winter weather in some missions and in freeroaming:)
and that we could use the searching/navigation light on the boat:) that would be cool.:)
and a litlebit more realistic at nights so it was darker so we just could see the lights on the boat at the open seas;)
-
Do you like this ship???????
-
I think conspicuous by their absence in Ship Sim, especially on the Solent, are pleasure craft. Now wouldn't a lot of you guys prefer to elbow the engines and use your sailing skill, using only the wind facility surplied on multiplayer. To have a pleasant day out sailing your yacht, or maybe compete in organised races even, say from the Hamble to Cowes for instance. I guess the server owner would set the weather conditions, so all would be in the same boat 'scuse the pun..Guys who prefer engines (Inshore life boat for instance) could always stand by to fish out weekend sailors who capsize. Just a thought. Regards, Brian
-
That would indeed be nice. But it is my understanding that the wind has no effect on the ships in SS08 and that things like wind and currents and such will probably not be implemented untill the next SS.
So the sail would be quite useless, unfortunatly.
-
Well, I think sailing is verry complicated to implement.
Just to set sail and trim the sails isn't difficult, but the feeling you need for sailing wil never be possible to implement in the game.
And by the way, there allready are at least three companies who make sailing sims.
Virtual sailor
Virtual skipper
Sailsimulator
They have all allready done a great job.
-
i would like the "lusitania" to be in the next ship sim and titanic again, but this time you can go in the grand staircase and corridors through cabins!

has someone heared about that new cruise ship? it's bigger than the QM2. about 100 ft :o that is what i would like to see in future ship sim's
-
I would like to see something that we haven't already got in SS... ;)

How big is this thread going to get?? It's just pointless and endless amounts of wishes. The likelyness of VSTEP introducing ANY of these ships is extremely remote.

this ship is awsome!, I love it,, it's really nice to travel with :)
-
I don't mean to be patronising, but why should ANY developer make things free? A patch to repair a bug, yes- but new features? Who is going to pay for all Vsteps costs if they give things away free? Do you not realise how much work goes into it?
Stu
I don't mind paying extra for additional features such as new ships or new enviroment if I really like them. Otherwise developers may see little point or incentive to make the Ship Sim game more enjoyable for us all. Plus they need to make an earning!
Even the National Health Service (NHS) is not free - we pay income tax & National Insurance towards it. Also there's no such thing as a free lunch - it just mean they want something in return from you! (as I have discovered too many times) ;)

Get the latest issue of LEKKO International and make every tug in it. Then start working on the back issues.
There is no real need for other ships except as things to tow. We already have enough of those.
Well…maybe some barges and garbage scows would be nice.

Hello.
I would like to se the "Walona" from Gothenburg :)

It is a passengership which homeport is Skarhamn in Gothenburg.
Speed: 18 Knots.
Passengers: 250
Cars: No
Lenght: 30 M
Widht: 8 M
Here is also a link to get more pictures or info: www.walona.se (http://www.walona.se)
Enjoy.

I love that vessel! The first ferry (the only ferry aswell) I ever commandeered looked very similar to that.! :] Very beautiful
-
When this topic have reached 50 pages I'm sure that it contain 50% of the world fleet that people want to see in the game. How many boats are suggested?
Well it will be a very long boat list that you can select from while picking a multiplayer ship or a ship for free roaming that's for sure :D
Maybe a dowmload base where people can upload their add-ons and where others can download them can be a nice feature in the future when this game finally supports "directly added add-ons"? ;)

You make it sound as if it is a good thing!! ;D ;)
How many times I have raised my fist in anger towards the pc monitor after another poorly designed user-made addon make my sims crash/underperform/lock up/get messed beyond repair... I have lost count.
Granted, there's tons of good stuff to be downloaded for other sims, but the majority is sub standard and even though you follow all the advice in their respective readme files, it goes wrong so many times. I'd prefer a software developer releasing them so that we can be sure of quality, or - if a bug does slip through the net - get proper support.

Yes, Fred, there are still some who have not got the word about third-party add-on ships:
It is not going to happen.

Good. That makes sense ;D
So what is the purpose to have a Development Corner and some VDG thing then? To inspire 3D modelers and CG artists to make ships and boats for this game? Well, that's not gonna happen. Just a few people will contribute their 3D models to this game + the majority of Ketchup users. :D
Oh yeah...
-
Anyone who can produce a quality model that meets the stated requirements can submit it to VSTEP for possible inclusion in the game—possibly even get paid for their efforts.
The demands of this simulator are much higher than the train or flight simulators, and it is not practical to provide a way for third parties to fully integrate their creations into the sim.
The fact is that relatively few members have the skill necessary to meet the requirements.
The purpose of Developers corner, and NVDG, if there is a purpose, is to make information available to any serious modelers who want to play by the rules. Unfortunately it also attracts some self-deluding ketchup users.

Marty

"The demands of this simulator are much higher than the train or flight simulators" - I like the sound of that! ;D
This might sound like a daft question, but what is a 'ketchup user'? I've never heard of this before and I tried to google it but can't find a definite answer. ???
Thanks
-
;D
They are referring to "Google Sketchup"
Which is nowhere near good enough to deliver detailed, quality models. But somehow a lot of 'Ketchup' users don't (want to) realise this. :D

Hey Fred,
If you are going to explain my posts, at least get your facts straight!
By “Ketchup users†I mean those tasteless boobs who put ketchup on their hamburgers instead of relish as we true gourmands do. ;D
Marty

Heya Marty,
Yeah sorry.. Not having Sketchup myself and thus not being a highly advanced super cool modeller of awesome vaguely-resembling-a-ship like things, I don't visit the NVDG corner often.. Not unless there's need for some asterisks.. :P
So I am not aware of the culinairy awkwardness of it's lesser inhabitants.. :-X my bad.. ;D
*Bows his head in shame*
Fred
-
what about the COSTA CONCORDIA?
CALLIOPE
-
I have a great idea !!!!!
all the ships from that TV program Deadliest Catch.
the ships like:
Cornelia Marie
Farwest Leader
Maverick
Northwestern
Rollo
Time Bandit
Wizard
-
A 900/1000 ton coaster able to trade between Shoreham and the Channel Islands
-
maybe this one
-
The new BC ferry Coastal Renaissance made by FSG ship.
-
BC Ferries, my favorite, one of the largest ferry systems on the planet.
That new build is a beauty. Delivery must have been fun.
Marty
-
the Qm2 and the modelship s.s glasgow (from revell) that one is based on the s.s manhattan but the s.s glasgow has much more prittier colors ;D
-
brittanic
norhtwestern(deadliest catch discovery channel)
SS Rotterdam
freedom of the seas
QM2
-
I like to see some ships like 3000GT or 8000GT.
big ships are already like Latitude and Vermaas.
a heavy lift ship is nice too.
-
Maybe a World War 2 Liberty or Victory ship
Or an Atlantic Convoy era T2 tanker.
On the tugboat side, they should include more modern tug and barge work for NY Harbor. The harbor tug used in this game is not what is seen in NY harbor at all... no company uses this type. Maybe a Moran or McAllister style tug that needs to move barges around in push gear or on the hip would be a sweet challenge.
-
How about icebreaker and lots of ICE ?! :)
http://www.finstaship.fi/en/?c=1&p=3
-
Just get rid of what they have for tugs now and make it a real tug. The one in this game I have never even seen anywhere in real life. It's a mini Fairmount Sherpa, and it's obvious from experience in the game its underpowered.
-
How about the worlds most powerful tug, the Isabel Kwel? :)
-
(http://www.twofrog.com/images/tugjoanmoran1655.jpg)
(http://www.twofrog.com/images/tugmarymcallister1666.jpg)
(http://www.twofrog.com/images/tugemmaroehrig2187.jpg)
Get some real nice tugs like these and oil barges with notches so we can do landings/movements from the hip or in a stern notch with pushgear. Tugs are the ultimate experience for seamanship and vessel handling.
-
How about the worlds most powerful tug, the Isabel Kwel? :)
Do you have some more info about that ship?
I thought the Fotiy krylov was the most powerful tug in the world.
-
She was a Dutch tug; designed by Hartog for Kwel International Towing (KITCO).
She was a killer; having a tendency to go into violent destructive rolling when meeting a swell on a certain bearing.
-
And also you can find more info about her in this document (http://www.amazon.com/Captain-Jan-Hartog/dp/B000FDCBY0) for the small price from $1.99 (+P&P).
Regards,
Luc
Or, in Belgium here (http://www.2dehands.be/kapitein-van-jan-hartog-35528101.html?qq=hartog%20harinxma)
-
Any chance of tallships? eg the "Cutty Sark" etc
"The Great Western" would also be a good ship
-Indy
-
Close, Luc, but I meant the second Isabel Kwel, in Jan de Hartog’s “The Commodore†(1986).
They are both great novels.

Marty

how about H.M.S Norfolk

-
A Wallenius Wilhelmsen RORO vessel would be nice, although thats essentially the same thing as the Pride of Rotterdam minus the passengers.
-
why motorships??
the Volvo Ocean Racers: ABN AMRO 1 or Movistar maybe Pirates of the caribbean
or else the Vaterland and the Torrey canyon.
-
I allso would like to see the Thames highway added, I alllready proposed that ship.
But why add four more ferry's? ???
-
Because I like'em
-
i like also to see a fishership in the next addon ;D
-
RNLI Atlantic 75 or Atlantic 85 inshore lifeboats.
or a Severn Class offshore lifeboat.
must admit this ship sim is very addictive.
-
i like also to see a fishership in the next addon ;D
yes that would be nice, I like fishing ships ;D
-
Less racing boats. This is ship simulator, not racing boat simulator.
-
Less racing boats. This is ship simulator, not racing boat simulator.
why less racing boats? there is only one racing boat in the game (2 if you count that one in the patch).
-
It would be good to see a ship like rms queen elisibeth or a ship like poseidon
-
Because I like'em
I like car carriers,
would you like to see 6 car carriers in the game?
-
I like car carriers,
would you like to see 6 car carriers in the game?
Yes I would love that if I can drive all the cars manually out of the ship. A new BMW inboard would be nice! ;)
-
Hi all how about a tall sailing ship peter
-
i would like to see a cruise liner and some other big vessels
-
Why not a car ferry. I have her pictures but I don´t know how to insert them. If someone can help me.
And also I suggest to introduce the Strait of Gibraltar as a new interesting environment where you have three important ports in less than 50 miles (Gibraltar, Algeciras, Tangier)
Thank you
-
Would be nice to have a Yorkshire coaster in the sim - twin Caterpillar engines!! Would also like a medium sized harbour tug, like the Smit's and Adsteam tugs. Maybe even a flat pontoon barge to tow with the small tug.
-
Wich vessels would you like to see added in te future?
Hi there,
Is a list of all proposals/requests available?
Capt. Marco
-
Hi Capt. Marco,
You are looking at it. No one has yet gone through all the posts on this subject to compile a concise list for the forum. I doubt anyone wants to do that chore.
Presumably, the developers read the forum and compile their own list—which probably represents at least a 10-year backlog with their present resources.
Regards,
Marty
-
I like car carriers,
would you like to see 6 car carriers in the game?
Yer the more the better.
-
You may think that.
But in stead of seeing 6the same ships in the game, I prefer to see 6 different ships in the game.
-
Last post removed. If you don't like a subject, please don't post in the topic unless you have something to add to it :)

It will be very good to see here some of Tallink ferries - Victoria I, Galaxy, or Star, for example...
-
have you all noticed that everybody wants boats and ships to be added from their own countries so i dont think vstep will ever meet any demands because theres too many.
-
i would like to see some supply vessels like the highland prestige and more anchor handlers like the olympic hercules , and safety standby vessels like the vos inspirer and dive support vessels , construction vessels too
-
People listen,
Everyone shows pictures of big tanker's, tour boat's, tug-boat's and ferries.
There are already ships in this categories, look at this:
- Big tanker's: vlcc latitude
- Tour boat's: Taxi-boat,red jet 4
- Tug-boat's: Small harbour tug, furie, elbe, russian tug, fairmount sherpa
- Cruiser liners: P&Q pride of rotterdam, Ocean star
- Ferries: Red eagle
I don't think vstep go make anymore ships in this categories because there are there already.
I choose more for something news,maybe 20-30 meter's motor-ships like this ones:
(http://)
(http://www.sander-doeve.nl/web/resize.php?image=/home/unixadvanced/w/w/www-krxb/www/schepen/YS060503.jpg&size=700)
I have also respect for the people who choose for navi ships only i dont like that kind of ships.
Succes with choosing for ships ;)
-
Ferries: P&Q pride of rotterdam, Ocean star its P&O and the Ocean Star is a cruise liner ;)
-
There may be one ferry, one cruise ship and one tanker in the game already but I think you need more as they all vary in size and handling.
I'd like to see
cross channel ferry like the norfolk line one
A large car carrier
Smaller tanker
another containership
High speed catamaran such as the Normandie express or the condor express
Another frieghter like the agile soloution.
There are so many different designs for ships even though they do the same job but they all look and handle very different with different controls that is where the skill should lie
-
What about some pirate ships! ;D Wouldn't that be a bit cool?
-
I don't know if pirate ships would be all that great but what about an H2 yacht, my cousin works for them.
-
Yeah, doesn't that H2 yacht look a bit like the one we have in the game? ::) ???
-
I suppose so but there are a lot more H2 designs than just that.
-
What about some pirate ships! ;D Wouldn't that be a bit cool?
Modern-day pirates are not at all cool. They sometimes murder the crew. Their ships are of many types—from speedboats to small freighters—and seldom fly the Jolly Roger. Piracy is a very real problem today, especially in places such as the Strait of Malacca.
Marty
-
Oh yes, almost every day acts of piracy are reported from around the world! There is no fun at all!
Cheers

Brittany Ferry's " MS Pont-Aven" or "Ms Bretagne" with moving parts

-
It will be fine to see here some ferries of Baltic sea... Tallink is the largest ro-ro operator in the Northern Baltic, so I hope to see one day at least one vessel of this company in the game... or fast catamaran jet ferries - Nordic Jet, SuperSeaCat, etc. :)
-

really nice boats...i would like to see other Rpa models
-
This one looks impressive, but I'm happy with one of the RPA's fleet for a while, hoping for other ones instead... ::)
-
How about Ullysses, from Irish ferries?
-
Actually, it is not so important, which companies and vessels... But a new ro-ro ferry is required, like a new ferry route in one environment! The Solent, for example, is a great environment for ferry fares, but harbours are too shallow for larger vessel - Pride of Rotterdam... Therefore my recommendation is - Gulf of Finland with it's harbours Tallinn and Helsinki, or Dover - Calais route in one environment (without "open sea passages" in three different environments)!
Excuse my bad English, please! :D
-
I would like to see a disney cruise line with the horn included just like what they did on the ship they have a simulator with the ship that would be sweet

Just the standard canal ships, like a tanker with the length of 110m...
-
i would like to see a fishing vessel liek the one in ship sim 2006 but one that you can actually tow a net ( trawling) and a new anchor handling tug would be nice
-

hi all, first post on this here forum.
Just got myself that shipsimulator.
seeing those old RPA boats on the pictures placed here.
The RPA12 which is in game has been very well done.. still looking for the flashlight button :-)
I would like to see the ability for the RPA vessels to use their watercannons.
As for ships I would like to suggest some working RIBS with outboards and also one with a waterjet.
The Rotterdam Port Authority has one due soon and will soon be operational
and maybe that large vessel that the dutch customs uses.
well I'm patching as I type and alrdy ran in a strange thing since I had no luck trying to re-assign my control keys.. everytime I tried to double click on one to change it, for example my rudder the pc decided to change my Horn which is on the top of the list. Weird and frustrating.
will have another go after patching.
HappyRPA16

I don't really see a need for bigger! bigger! bigger! Perhaps the French Passenger ship Normandie of the 1930s/40s, or smaller WW2 era cargo ships, like Victory, Liberty, or T2 tanker vessels. If they bulk up on tugboats, they should use the classic NY Harbor tugs and put barge work in there, and not have vessels sink when they rub up against each other like in SS08. There have been HUNDREDS of times where vessels I worked on rubbed against another one of the same size with barely a mark made between them (helloooo barge work??)

beneteau antares aniversary
a few greek ferrys for the med

How about this one, the CVN-68 Nimitz:
-
I think some more tugs. so far the is only a small one and a huge one. There is no average tugs.
-
Hi Tug Master,
The coming New Horizons addon will have the new vessel Bugsier 2 in it, Aswell as the Igor K, from the 'old' Addon
That'll make 4 tugs in total, that should give us a tool for every towing job. :)

This is slightly off topic but which tug is stronger, Bugsier 2 or Igor K

did you get the game free from Vstep ;D
-
An aircraftcarrier like the nimitz would be nice indeed. And the Emma Mearsk container vessel...
-
I would like to see RMS Olympic
-
I would like to see RMS Olympic
Why? We already have Titanic and they're almost exactly the same :)
-
I'd like to see some of the following vessels in the future.
Barge carrier- so we can use the barge and pusher for more than just pushing pic.1
Incat HSC- like the Normandie express or Portsmouth Express to run out of (you guessed it) Portsmouth.pic. 2.3
Pride of Bilbao- to do the same as above. (although similar to POR) would be nice to see it.pic.4
Ro-pax- like this one or one of Stena's big new ones.pic.5
HSS- another HSC I know but a great piece of kit, can run out of Rotterdam.
Car carrier-they look shoe boxes but beauty isn't everything.
-
Why? We already have Titanic and they're almost exactly the same :)
actually, the wheel house on either the Titanic or the Olympic is longer and narrower than the other...
there are several other differences, but that's the only one I can remember...
-
A Bering Sea fishing boat would be cool. A Crabber or Trawler.
-
I would like to see the newest vessels of the BC ferries flees added.

I wanna sail HMHS Britannic and RMS Olympic in Ship Simulator, that would be nice :)!
-
i would like to see some more fishing trawlers!
-
i would like to see some more fishing trawlers!
here you go jack but i think you mean in the game an oil burning trawler pre war diesel trawler
built in the 50s modern stern trawler sailed in all of them ;D would be good in game all handle diffrent
Eric ;)
-
they look very nice, would be nice to have in ss too :)
-
I would like to see more cargo ships (like great lakes) or cruise ships
i realize that the boats are fun to drive in the game but i think the purpose of
Ship simulator should be to drive ships, but it is fine either way
-
The RMS Olympic is much different! The boat deck has 24 lifeboats, the A-Deck promenades were open!
-
I'd like to see some different paintjobs so that it looks as though there are different ships out there, allthough the physics stay the same.
Regards,
Frankestein
-
Mayby some fish trawlers
-
i prefer a cruiseship (the qm2) and secondly a icebreaker so you can break the ice for other ships in the game.

I would like to see M/S Estonia in SS08, it´s an lovely ferry...
I KNOW IT SANK 1994, AND THERE WHERE MANY PEOPLE THAT DIED SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT NO OFFENSE TO THE RELATIVES WHO LIVES!!!!
I have been my self on M/S Estonia, and when it sailed by the name Viking Sally.
I would like it in the simulator bqs it was an lovely ship, not bqs it sank!!
Buy the way, it didn´t sink bqs off the weather... the ship would float up side down a while before it sank.. most have been an leak (hole) under the water line!!

http://www.faktaomfartyg.se/estonia_1980_2.jpg
-
Actually it would be a bad style - to create a sunken ferry in the game... but maybe the idea is not so bad - M/V Estonia in Ship Simulator can be like a monument for people, who died in accident... M.V Estonia was an old ferry and not so modern! There is a one wreck - S/S Titanic... you want another one? I think the better way would be to create some of existing legendary Baltic sea ferries - M/V Mariella, or M/V Silja Serenade... or M/V Silja Europa or something of Tallink's new ferries!
-
Hmmmm, just imagine you can sink the vessel again and again with the sim! There are for sure other ferries worth it to be part of the game more than the "Estonia", guess?
Cheers
-
i would like to see some fishing trawlers in it modern ones which you could haul a net and catch some fish in
-
Agree to Bottman... In my opinion, M/V Estonia in the game would be unethical... It's not worth to do it! It was a horrible accident and all people and seamen must look forward to avoid similar accidents in the future, not to replay the biggest ferry disaster in Baltic sea...
-
The T/S Empire State, training ship for the SUNY Maritime College.
hah, just kidding, keep that 'ol rustbucket off this game =]
Perhaps an ITB?

This is a Huge ship for its time and is called the Great Western. It hit a iceberge just like the Titanic did but it didn't sink!
This is a link to a web page with info on it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Great_Western (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Great_Western)
I think they should have a ship like this, if not the same.
-
All the suggestions so far have been great, but to me the greatest ships to add on to the sim are ones with some historical value to them. I would pick the following (not listed in any real order)
Carpathia, Normandie, Queen Elizabeth, Queen Mary, France, Canberra, Queen Elizabeth 2, Andria Doria, Michelangelo, United States, and NS Savannah.
We all know what those ships look like, but for some of the more obscure ships i would love to see :
The Admrial : (http://www.maritimematters.com/images/dq-admiral.jpg)
The Aquarama : (http://blog.mlive.com/chronicle/2007/09/Aquarama.jpg)
The Badger : (http://www.mackinac.org/media/images/2003/v2003-12a.jpg)
The Ticonderoga (http://www.vermonter.com/images/shelburne/DSC01777.jpg)
And one that has a lot of special, personal memories and meaning to me:
The Mount Washington :The origional before she burned (built from the sistership of the Ticondaroga)
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c9/Steamer_Mt._Washington%2C_Lake_Winnipesaukee%2C_NH.jpg)
And as she looks now : (http://www.laconia.nhctc.edu/images/Mt%20Washington.jpg)
The hull is actually over 100 years old, with major upgrades and renovations to it.
-
I would like:
- gas tanker (i love this kind of ships)
- oil/chemical tanker
- Bitumen tanker
-
good call, an LNG would be nice, but the damage limits would need to be near 0, very dangerous ship.
-

Oh yeah, like in the real life. So if you would command one of these ships you must be a perfect commander. ;)
-
i would like to see the p&o pride of burgundy!!! and the ports of dover and Calais
-
maybe one of those boats that fills up with water and then lowers the whole boat and then the deck is under water so a bunch of boats float over the deck,then the boat dumps all the water and lets the boats over it's deck rest on it's deck that now is out of the water ;D that i think would be aswome :o
that will be nice!
-
Wich vessels would you like to see added in te future?
i think that they should include a dredger, another trawler, a smaller cargo ship,
....a tour boat and a different ferry. :)
-
i think they should have a large yacht and some sort of tender boat to ferry passengers back and forth from the ship to port
Dan
-

I want to see the Berge Stahl in the game
-
"Berge Stahl"? Yes! But only with a sufficient ballast system to reach suitable ports!
-
I wanna have Superspeed 1. or 2. no matter. because superspeed 1 and 2 is like ;D
-
The RMS Olympic is much different! The boat deck has 24 lifeboats, the A-Deck promenades were open!
oh i also think they should include a coaster e.g. celtic pride etc
i also they should include a smaller ferry like the brittany ferries or the p o ones
-
I agree that we need smaller passenger ships other than the high speed ones.
-
Have you seen the Zwarte Zee on the title page of the Rotterdam Maritime Museum - Surely this is a "must have" for the sim??!!!?? ::)
I don't care if someone else has mentioned it before - I want it I want it
-
good call, an LNG would be nice, but the damage limits would need to be near 0, very dangerous ship.
A common misconception. LNG tankers are probably the safest ships out there. I escort these tankers on a weekly basis and have been to a school for fighting fires on them. Someone once got an idea that they are very dangerous and now everyone just believes it. I would like the chance to drive one though.

A classic Riva Aquarama.
Those boats are beautifull!
But I don't like the new riva's, the old riva's rule!

An icebreaker would be nice ;D

It says 'No Smoking' on the deckhouses of these 'safe' ships for a reason. There is imminent danger aboard any vessel carrying any gases

There are submarines - you just don't see them unless you happen to be where they surface after a three year mission. ;D

I would like to see one of the thomson cruises :D
-
Really, i would like to see this yacht from ss2006
i dont understand Why didn't Vstep add this yacht ??? ??? ??? :'(

i think defintley some HMS ships lyk HMS NEWCATLE OR HMS OCEAN OR MABY THE NEW SUPER CARIERIAS WE ARE GETING HMS PRINCE OF WALES
-
Really, i would like to see this yacht from ss2006
i dont understand Why didn't Vstep add this yacht
Likewise the inland tankers and dry goods carriers and the small open boat and I still can't understand why engines from the small container ship can't be put into the variations on its skins so we could have a variety of freighters for AI or player traffic

Someone once got an idea that they are very dangerous and now everyone just believes it. I would like the chance to drive one though.
Then why is it that when they are offloading/loading LNG, there is a "halo" around their position where NO vessels may enter without proper authorization (I think I remember something like 2Nm, could be wrong though). If something were to hit that baby, thats a big big boom, and a huge black eye to commercial shipping.
They are safe because of the rules/laws in place to protect them =]
-
I agree with you about them being safe due to the security zone set around them. It's supposed to be 3 miles ahead, and 1 mile abeam and astern. In my port, the zone around the tanker while offloading is 400 yards, which extends accross the river onto land, but boats are still allowed to transit through.
The study that details all the danger involved was formulated around a lot, repeat a lot, of assumptions. To get the ideal circumstances for an explosion are very nearly impossible outside of a laboratory. Oil tankers and tankers carrying gasoline present a much bigger threat, both damage wise and environmentally.
By the way, if you spray water on LNG, the water explodes into flying icicles. Pretty cool actually.
-
I think a hydrofoil would add something completely new to the game.

HI Jolly Roger
That was wherry nice ferry's, and welcome to our forum, hope you will like you here, when you bayed the ship sim you got more and a game you also get automatic a free bonus, ;) hundreds of friends here some like to help you if you got trouble with the game and just talk with

I think more trawlers and more general cruisers would be a good idea, for example adding a Colvic or some sort of motor cruiser like that wouldn't do any harm. Adding some more general trawlers would be healthy for the game in my opinion and also maybe adding some charter boats would be wise, just basicly expanding the range of ships and building on the successful ones too.
Kind Regards
IRI5HJ4CK
p.s. adding another ferry wouldn't go a miss either, you know Stena Line, Irish ferries, theres a load to choose from!

This is the new vessel for the Icelandic Coast Guard like to see this one.

As one of the guys that Navigate these ships all around the world...
A big cruise ship with POD's propulsion like the Millennium Class Cruise ship will be a perfect and more advanced choice for your next development. Not to mention that it would be a breakthrough...

MIdnatsol is a beautiful boat ;)
Please define "beautiful" in order to that boxy ship.. ;D ;D ;)

maybe this hovercraft who were going from dover to france
-
WOW, I just registered some minutes ago and thing there are perfect ideas for other ships!!!
I for myself would like to see some more big yachts. Such like we had in the 2006 edition. Like others I even ask myself why they didn't put it into the 2008. I know it isn't very easy to get plans of such "boat", because the yachts of a size, bigger than 50m are mostly some kind of "top secret". But it isn't impossible. So I really would like one, two, trhee more .. haha.
-
The Britannic and Olympic (Titanic's sisters).
Hmmmm... the Queen Mary 2, the Queen Victoria. ^^
And maybe the Explorer of the Sea.

Thay are Titanics sisters, and i would like to have tha Rms Britannic too, but only as a passenger liner as she was intended. The QM2 would be really good aswell, we could do with a modern ocean liner, unlike that sick boxy ocean star!

SISTER SHIPS
-
Okay okay ! I've understood... -_-
I've edited my post, no panic ! XD
-
One of the 112metre Incat used in Japan? Or maybe the Weymouth/Poole crossing to Guernsey/Jersey with Condor Ferries! They've got 2 86metre Incat (Condor Express and Condor Vitesse) and it would be cool to pilot them coming into Guernsey Harbour where I live!!
-
Or maybe a rodriguez hydrofoils? something totally different then!

Freedom of the sea's. John Laing find john laing at www.oytsouth.org

I, personely, would love to see ethier the ship fascination or imagination from carnival cruise lines in SS09. Those ships are the sister ships of eachother.

I suspect thats because that's all most people see these days. Most maritime industrial shipping operations and movements happen away from the public eye... Now what I would like to see are some old fashioned general cargo (that's break bulk for the younger generation) vessels such as those owned and sailed by the Ben line or Bank Line etc; going around the globe; taking goods from UK/Europe via Panama to the South seas and Australasia and bringing back everything; perhaps one with heavy-lift jumbo derricks. Now that would be a mission.
Or, and here's a thought... a Liberty Ship...

Something like the ships on here?? :)

In the momentary situation I cannot fancy that there will be a continuation
-
I would be happy to see a number of the vessels described above, especially the cargo versions, what I would not like to see is the conclusion of military vessel, this has been done before and once these vessels were installed aling came the requests for Guns that Fire, Misiles that can be Launch, Torpedo firing ability for Submarines, I saw the result of this mixture and quite quickly disengaged myself from the programme on hearing why such things would be great if they were included.

some of the cunard fleet qr2 and qm2

maybe to find out a way to control better the already in ships.. jst a submarine anyway...

I would like to see this boat...
(http://growabrain.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/boat.jpg)
...with super-realistic highly sophisticated bridge and realistic decks where I can run around and talk with all passengers so they really know who is the captain. I want some ultra-realistic smoke from the funnel and a noisy horn so I can scare the *** out of all close trafficking just to show them who is the boss and who is not violating the COLREGs. I also want a super-hypersonic realistic engine that runs so fast that Michael Schumacher is getting upset.
Beside this is the most highly-sophisticated cruise ship that you can watch for real in year 2020. It's so big that the Queen of Britain have to crawl up in the Eiffel Tower to get a full view of the whole ship. Because of it's enormous photo realistic hyper-real 3D design and texturing you need a computer that can run 10 copies of Crysis at the same time to see the ultra-realistic computer and science breaking graphics developed by VSTEP.
The only cool thing with this ship is that you don't need a confirmation from the Cunard to design it or use it in a computer game (or was it simulator). So I'm sorry to say it folks but I don't think that you EVER at all will see any Cunard ship in this game. Maye Mikey Mouse can help you... :P
-
would love to see EVERY ship from the 18 ship fleet of American Steamship.
-
one thing i have seen on this forum is you can ask all you like. but it will never get made they will make what they want when they want it.
-
Well keep in mind, creating ships is a very difficult process, which requires a lot of research, patience, concentration, and skill. I am sure V-step works hard making these vessels, and that they might be fo-filling other peoples requests. Not neccissarily yours in particular.
-
Considering that this is SHIP simulator, not ANY-SHIP-SO-LONG-AS-IT-HAS-AN-ENGINE simulator, I would like to see some yachts, or a top fuel drag boat:

Brittany Ferry's " MS Pont-Aven" or "Ms Bretagne" with moving parts
i think that is a great idea!
i would really like to see Ms Bretagne or the stena line ferries.
i'm not really bothered as long as they create more ferries and i mean proper ferries.

Being from the Great Lakes area, I would love to see some of the "ore boats", as we call them, as well as some of the area to sail them in. The St. Marys River would be a fine location to offer. It has sea going vessels, as well as the lakers sailing it. It contects Lake Superior with the lower lakes, and has plenty of recreational traffic as well. Plenty of resources to make many a fine mission for the players..from tight handling of large freighters through the locks at the Soo, Pilot transfers, to pleasure boating..with a few tour boats thrown in. I watch ships there all the time, and I have attached a few photos which I took last weekend. I hope you enjoy!!

This one belongs to the famous Papenburg-Sisters! The 1973 built "Coromuel" is now working as "Sinaloa Star", still in Mexican waters. It would be great to have her or one of her sisters for the ShipSimulator.. ::)
-
The coromuel looks a lot like the PoR though. Bit boring to have that as well. :-\
-
it dose not look anthing like it. the por is a lot bigger and is styled very differently

How about a smaller vessel that is not as fast as the speed boat but the same size? A yacht would also be cool. Something on the medium/small end not a large yacht.
Maybe like a trinity yacht?
-
how did i gusss you would say trinity yacht
-
the QM2 ofcourse! but i have seen that they are still waiting on permision of cunard.(i have searched on the forum etc...but the posts were old so i might be wrong now)
otherwise i hope Vstep would think about it, it would be awsome to have the mighty QM2 in the game she is a real beauty! :) (if this is not possible than use the poseidon of mr robville, great model too or maybe the first m/s queen mary)
secondly a old t2 tanker with some rust on te outside with allot of smoke coming out of the funnel!
ofcourse i have more wishes but that would become to much. ;D

Can't really be bothered to read through all 31 pages so apologies if I repeat any...
P&O Cruises Oriana (IMO the best-looking modern cruise ship)
USS Nimitz
HMS Warspite - the WW2

The only wrong thing about that is that, unfortunately warships will not be added to this ship simulator :-X, because that will be a totaty different thing.

I don't know if someone has already suggested it but how about a liberty ship such as the John W. Brown
-
We can all think of and name many ships, as we all have favourites, but why do we need so many Ships, lets just keep what we have and include smaller and medium sized version, with the updated Wheelhouses with the necessary instrumentation and Light Facilities. If we stuck to this Idea the improvements of ship sim could become more frequent and more reliable, but not forgetting realism. Of course the additon of one or two different types of Ship would be a bonus. But Warships NO NO NO
-
Maybe waterjets!

A Coast Guard Cutter from any nation would be awesome, to do search and rescue missions. I am in the US Coast Guard, but I have to say the Canadian Coast Guard and British Coast Guard's are pretty amazing as well!
-
and this game allready has a jetski
Did you not notice that was posted more then a year ago. SS08 wasn't even out.
-
Again, I would love to see any of the worlds coast guards in an expansion or new edition of shipsim. I think that would cure alot of people want to have warships in the game. Just with the US Coast Guard you have missions running from interdiction of smugglers and alien migration to aids to navigation repair and placement and fisheries. This isn't even counting the biggest and most exciting of the Coast Guard missions, search and rescue. I would love to see some of the new USCG Cutters included or the patrol boat fleet of 110' cutters and 87' cutters.

Having had a good look at the American Coastguard vessels in close up, I can only submit that they depict the perfect Warship in disguise, and there inclusion would lead to the inevitable slippery slope.
-
You might be right, but honestly I can't tell you the last time we actually fired the main gun in something other then a training eviroment. If that is the case no warships, limit it to small boats and patrol cutters, or other coast guards, such as the Canadian Coast Guard or HM Coastguard, which are not a military force. I would love to see more SAR mission in the game.
-
I would like to have a twin unit voith schneider tractor tug. Highly maneuverable and very powerful, would be good fun!

OCL container ships, as i used to work (?) on them.
Also warships with big guns to blast everyone away - separate server for this one of course

no! no! no! how many times do we have to say it there will NEVER be guns on this SIMULATOR as the it turn into a war game not a shipping SIMULATOR
-
I agree there are enough wargames out there already, that is the beauty of this game is it shows the everyday merchant mariner life. I would hate to see any weapons added to the game and there is more to being a sailor then combat and this game really shows that. The only reason I would want to see any coast guard or patrol type craft is to see more of the SAR type missions not for combat
-
i can understand people wanting ship like battle ship or aircraft carriers but even if they did come ingame they would never have wepons

I find this constant plead for "Big Blasty Things" is getting a bit annoying.

Hiya all :)
I'd like to point something out here. We all have different opinions, that's what makes us individual. Every member on the forum is entitled to their opinion, and being criticised for having an opinion is not something any of us would like, agreed?
Perhaps a more relaxed attitude to others opinions would be more appropriate :)

What about adding a heavy lift vessel? Once of those nice big ones from Dockwise? I did a survey on one of them last month and they are absolutely fabulous!
Would love to see them in the simulator and be able to 'sink' them while pulling an oil platform over them with two tugs... Yeah !!
Oops. I got carried away... but still. a heavy lift would be nice...

Do you mean like the "Fairmount Fjell'?
Last thing I knew that ship was already being developed by V-STEP for the game. :-\
-
Ey...
I don't know the Fairmount Fjell... What I can see on equasis is that it is a pontoon and I don't find it back on the Fairmount website... So I guess that is not what I mean... But I found on the Fairmount website a pic of the GAVEA LIFTER. I have put the pic here below (reference made that I took it from the Fairmount website, dont wanna get into problem with copyrights...).
Those heavy lifter semi submersible ships I mean... Would love to see those...
-
That's what the Fairmount Fjell is. ::)

More emphasis on tug/barge operations, perhaps in NYC.
The "sinking cause you rub against another ship" feature is really silly. So are the missions with two tugs needed. I end up lashing them together and towing with one boat only.
-
Ships I would like to see added to shipsim:
1. PSV models - poss UT755 design
2. Smaller AHTSVs - 60t-80t bollard pull
3. Multi role support/supply vessels with bow mounted helidecks and sat diving + moonpools
4. Hook up accomodation / construction barges with dedicated AHT for manouvers
5. AHTs in general
6. User controllable SELF PROPELLED semisubmersible drilling rigs (6th gen with DP3)
And....
7. For PSVs and AHTSVs a DP console would be cool
-
Could we also consider having a jackup rig, as a target object, which can be towed (legs up) and then positioned correctly by the marine support spread? Animated legs would be good too.....................
-
As many people have already suggested a suction dredger, like the Donald Redford that gets mentioned on the radio chatter in the Solent. Would need the environment extending North and South a few miles though, she operates out of Fareham reach, to the North of Portsmouth Harbour, and tends to dredge in the Nab area off the East coast of the Isle of Wight.
Other than that an old tramp steamer, one of my favourite maritime books is still Ocean Tramp.

Rather than go through all 30+ pages to see if they are already mentiond, I'll just go ahead and add my wish list...
Fishing boats (and missions)...perhaps a crab boat as seen on the TV show 'Deadliest Catch'
Unlimited Hydroplanes...and proper racing missions suitable for these.
Already in game is the Off Shore Powerboat...but some proper racing missions for it would be appreciated (preferably in open ocean with large swells). The jumps and such missions for these are a bit silly IMO.
I'd like to see the small inflatable on the rescue boat able to be used for rescues etc.
Some kind of Coast Guard fast interceptor boat and some 'smuggling' missions.

RMS QUEEN MARY
RMS QUEEN MARY 2
RMS QUEEN ELIZABETH 2
MS QUEEN VICTORIA

I've just bought a 1:1000 model of the CS AIDAdiva and that looks like a nice ship to have in the game.

we allreadt have the p6 whitch is a patrol boat
We do have a patrol boat but it is quite slow the boat i think he is talking about is faster than 16 knots and bigger
-
I agree with yann 56. I would also very much like to see one of the Brittany Ferries, featured in this sim. I think the Pont Aven would probably be the best one. I'm a regular passenger on these ferries, so it would be really nice. It would also be fantastic to have at least one French port and one English port, that these ferries operate from, but I guess that may be asking a bit too much LOL!!! ;D ;D

As I am from Spain, I think It could be great one of the Acciona Trasmediterranea's Ferry.

Hi okkopokko,
I've got a message today, that there are rumors to rescue the vessel from scrapping right now. There should be a delegation form somewhere around the Baltics on the way to Alang, checking the status of the unique ferry.

maybe one of those boats that fills up with water and then lowers the whole boat and then the deck is under water so a bunch of boats float over the deck,then the boat dumps all the water and lets the boats over it's deck rest on it's deck that now is out of the water ;D that i think would be aswome :o
These are called Heavy Lift vessels! ;)
-
I would like to see in this game a crane vessel "SAIPEM 7000", ~200 m lenght with 2 cranes SWL 7000 tons each, or maybe a heavy lift vessel "JUMBO CHALLENGER" :D
-
This game MUST have a floating crane as a player ship
-
i want one of those self propelled barges
-
I've heard people call an ordinary pontoon boat a "Barge" so I just want to make sure that you mean a Barge. :-\
-
I'd like to see the ss Rotterdam :)
-
Hi Juriss,
They are actually called “semi-submersible lift†to distinguish them from heavy-lift vessels like the Jumbo Javelin, which is a much larger edition of an “Agile Solution†type.
VSTEP has been considering a Fairmount semi-sub, Fjell, but that requires solving the general variable-draft problem. It may need to wait for SS 2009.
FOYEN, VSTEP is doing the Jumbo Javelin mentioned above. I can’t say that it will be released anytime soon. As for a floating crane, a sheerlegs, like SMIT's Asian Hercules II, would be nice.

We need the R/V Akademik Mstislav Keldysh! It's THE research vessel for visiting the wreck of the Titanic! ;D
It was the research vessel that James Cameron's film "Titanic" took place on, and the research vessel that carries the submersibles MIR 1 and MIR 2! It's also the vessel that lead to the 2006 theory of Titanic's sinking, as it was the MIR submersibles that found the 2 intact pieces of Titanic's hull!
It would be a funny paradox to have both the Keldysh and the Titanic together ;D
I don't see a reason why it shouldn't be in Ship Simulator!

Because I watch alot of Science Fiction, like "Doctor Who", :) I'm into the way things in reality fit if you mess them up...
If the Titanic is in the game and still floating, Then Ship Simulator is in a different universe where it never sunk. Then there was no need to even build a R/V. :o I know it's just a game so messing with the time space continuim in Ship Simulator won't take Terry out of existance or make me the vice president of Llamas and not the lord. ;)

Hi all!

Hello eek and welcome to the forum! :P
-
uhmm, the Research Ship for the wreck of the Titanic was the RS Knorr
But the MIR 1 and MIR 2 submersibles are considered some of the, if not, the best subs for Titanic visits nowadays!
The R/V Knorr may have found it, but its actual mission was to find 2 nuclear US Cold War submarines that sank and make sure America's enemies didn't get their hands on the nuclear sections of the wreck. Finding the Titanic was not the main purpose, but it made the perfect cover-up! ;D
-
Well that is not entirely true.
Dr. Ballard's main goal was to find the Titanic, but he needed a lot of funds, and the US Navy agreed to fund it, when he requested funding from them, but with the condition that Ballard first would go out and locate the sunken U.S. Navy submarines Thresher and Scorpion for them.
Once he found and photographed them, Ballard went on to the 'main quest', so to speak.
So the actual mission for Robert Ballard and Jean-Louis Michel and their team was finding the Titanic. Locating these subs was a priority for the Navy, not for Ballard, but he could not have done it without the Navy's backing and funding. You make it sound like he accidentally came across it whilst on another mission, this is not the case, nor is there a cover up, really.
I'm not keen on people still going down there for tourist visits and taking bits off of the wreck and so on, to be honest though.
Regards,
Fred

-

But MIR 1 and MIR 2 are the best! Those things can take the pressure of up to 4½ miles down!
Or maybe the Knorr SHOULD be in Ship Sim.... Want to have a poll? ;D
-
They were two entirely different operations. As Fred said, the US Navy paid for Bob’s expensive toys—which he developed for them at Woods Hole. While on active duty, it was the Navy that sent him to WHOI to pursue his post-graduate work. He holds a reserve commission in the Navy and does odd jobs for them.
The idea that the Titanic search was a cover up for his sub hunt is ridiculous.
Incidentally, I rode R/V Knorr from Woods Hole to Reykjavik on the first leg of expedition GEOSECS, after installing an IBM 1800 computer —on loan from SIO—aboard her. At that time, she still had fore & aft VSPs like her sister R/V Melville.
For the Titanic search, Knorr carried unmanned, tethered, robotic submersibles and a benthic sled with side-looking sonar. It was his later return on R/V Atlantis carrying the manned submersible Alvin that did extensive exploration. John Cameron also produced much scientifically valuable video and other data while filming “Titanicâ€.
Tourist visits and “salvage†attempts are an obscenity.
For those who can’t remember back to the fall of 1985, a quick summary:
Knorr had spent three weeks, 24 hours a day, looking at the sea floor with magnetometer, side- and bottom-looking sonar, and a video camera on Argo—a robotic vehicle flown from the control room on Knorr.
This monotonous boustrophedonic sailing came to an end 0048 hours on 1 September when Stu Harris noticed what appeared to be a circular object on his video monitor.
Bob Lange, the Argo pilot, steered in for a closer look until they could see rivets and then three furnace doors. It was a single-ended boiler from Boiler Room 1.
While MIR 1 & MIR 2 are good vessels, and worked well for Cameron, they are hardly unique. They are certainly not the first manned submersibles to visit the Titanic. It’s a shame to see them used in the grubby tourist trade.
Since 1964, Woods Hole has operated Alvin, a Human Occupied Vehicle (to use the designation of her owner, the US Navy). Alvin is usually called a Deep Submergence Vehicle, and is the world’s first of her type. She has made well over 4000 dives, in many parts of the world, at depths down to 4,500 meters.
She carries three people, including the pilot. Her dives last as long as ten hours.
She is maneuvered by six reversible thrusters, and returns to the surface by dropping steel weights.
Her equipment includes 30 cm-thick viewports, metal halide lights, video cameras, two robotic arms, and a basket for treasure.
Alvin made eleven dives to Titanic in 1986. On his last dive, Ballard placed a bronze plaque on Titanic’s stern.

Hi roo2008 and welcome to the forum.
That is MS FRAM—named for Fridtjof Nansen’s wooden ice-surviving ship.
Fram had a long career in Arctic and Antarctic exploration by Amundsen, Sverdrup, and others. She has her own museum in Oslo.
Fram means “forward†in Norsk.

Why dont you add an icebreaker.... but of course you have to change the enviroment quit a bit. This ships have 2 proppellers in the front and 2 in the aft, so they are interesting to manouver.

It’s a fast patrol boat like those used to harass our ships. The name is a corruption of Boghammar, the Swedish manufacturer of one type.

Here's what I feel would be the best choice for an ASD tug being added to the game....
We already have the Bugsier 2 (our tractor tug), so if we ever get an ASD tug, I reckon it should be Bugsier 6.

You are correct Person 264, Celebrity Solstice is the newest but nowehere near the biggest!!

Oasis of the Seas will be the biggest by far though at something like 360m. I think the term cruise ship, should be changed to "theme park on water"
-
Definitly One of the new MAERSK giant container ships I understand you cant use Maersk but use ADF, You cannot neglect such a influetial ships! And they are the biggest in the WORLD! Get one in NOW!

Well the British Media were reporting the Solstice as the biggest now, so maybe you're getting confused (as I did) from that picture?! Look at a side on view. :)

I think that ship looks very small

Well, the "Solstice" is the biggest ever german built cruise liner! No more, no less! And that's from a yard, miles away from the deep sea.. 8)

I'd like to see any one of the CPR (Canadian Pacific Railroad) historic steamships, that were used on the pacific coast of Canada.

Probably just 5% of all these 918 will be added. Others will not be added because the ship owner don't want to cooperate with VSTEP.
Well..keep on dreaming! :P

I hope to see more additions from the shipyard soon.
Dan, those classic ocean liners from the 1940s-1950s, such as the Queen Elizabeth and the United States, would be super additions. I get confused however with the controls on the modern ocean liner in NH, I find the helm and telegraph system much easier than the pod controls. Otherwise those would be super choices.
I'd love to be on the S.S. United States, breaking 38.3 knots!!!!

Not quite. Olympic was refitted with extra lifeboats and bulkheads in the wake of the Titanic disaster. Britannic was launched in 1914 but was only used as a hospital ship since she was sunk in 1916, and had those large crane-like davits and more bulkheads to prevent what happened to Titanic.
-
But apart from the two visible things (davits and lifeboats) they are pretty similar in shape and design (from a game point of view, ignoring the bulkheads)

It's not a cruise ship, ocean liner, it's an ocean liner! cruise ship!

I perfer the pre-Titanic disaster Olympic
But apart from the two visible things (davits and lifeboats) they are pretty similar in shape and design (from a game point of view, ignoring the bulkheads)
The differences don't stop there! There is a cowl vent on the port side of the 2nd funnel on Titanic that Olymic didn't have, the Olympic didn't have the closed foreward A deck prominade of Titanic, meaning the windows wouldn't be there if it was Olympic, the B deck windows on Olympic's side were evenly spaced out, unlike Titanic, as Titanic had additional rooms along her side that Olympic didn't, and the differences go on and on, as the 2 ships had a 1,004 ton weight difference!
In fact, from the bridge you could see one, that being where Titanic had a cowl vent, Olympic had an air shaft aft near the breakwater, and no cowl vent on her forecastle.
-
I take it aaaaallllllllllll back
-

It was somewhat, but remember, Titanic weighted more than Olympic. So much for being twins...

The only visible difference as far as I saw was an open promenade deck and more lifeboats.

I did read it. I was just saying that at first glance all I was able to distinguish between the liners in this class was the promenade deck.

Well there is far more, even with Olympic before Titanic sank!
-
It's a shame only one of them made it to retirement. Such beautiful liners.
I still would like to play as some of those which broke speed records, such as the Mauritania or the United States.

the king of scandinavia would be great!

1: Tug with voith system
2: Small tankers.
3: Car ships.
4: submarines.
but we need a good scenery, like norway with oilterminal mongstad and kårstø.

Greetings from Western Canada.
I know this game is more European based, but I'd like to suggest some things from this side of the world. Here in British Columbia, we have one of the largest Ferry fleets in the world, and are able to call our newest additions to the BC Ferry fleet, the largest Double ended ferries in the world. They were built in Flensburg Germany just last year, and are beginning to fit in with the rest of the fleet now. They are called, the Coastal Renaissance, Coastal Inspiration, and Coastal Celebration. There are also another 30+ vessels in the fleet that are worth looking at. If you'd like to see what our ships look like, have a browse through my website and find out.

Cheers.

Just because i m a FERRY & CRUISE LINER Lover i just wish to handle in more realistic mean these cind of vessels.
AZIPODS-WaterJets-CPP etc.
In the new version you see that something is wrong when you have 45 dg to Port/Stbd full ahead/astern Bow Thruster to full and the RoT is 30 or 45 unfortunately.
Another example is with the OCEAN STAR when you turn one pod 90 dg (vertical)and full power and the Rot is once more dissapointment ???
The controls i have to highlight that is quite smart inthe cruise liner and the ferry except the Jet Ferry with the Water Jets Propultion which is an other disapointment :-[
Hope that our guy will do his mirracle and improve - upgrade the simulation[/font][/font][/font]
-
Wich vessels would you like to see added in te future?
I would like to see (POSEIDON) and (Queen Mary 2)
-
A big nice yacht like the one from SS06!
-
The most important aspect of Plymouth is easily HMNB Devonport! ;)
What about Sutton Harbour, Or Millbay Docks? Plymouth isn't all naval base you know.
-
Back to the topic (why did you need to post the above?) I'd like to see a small freighter or a paddle steamer
-
Perhaps a small tanker like the algonova?
(http://www.boatnerd.com/news/newsthumbs/images-08-4/1-algonova-19-10-08-rb.jpg)
-
It'd be nice to see any of the Algo ships from the Great Lakes fleet, and to sail them on the lakes. And for them to put things in the right place this time (smokestack behind the wheelhouse) and not off to the side which makes docking a pain in the arse.
-
Beautiful ship in the pictures I've seen, haven't seen it go by my house yet (I live on the lake St.lawrence part of the seaway). Would love to have the lake St. Lawrence region in Ship Sim.
-
what about the bismark? she was a fine ship and the RMS hood? those two would be a nice addon to the shipsim enterprise
-
what about the bismark? she was a fine ship and the RMS hood? those two would be a nice addon to the shipsim enterprise
Those two ships are battleships (except for Hood) and it's not RMS Hood. You sound like Hood is a passenger ship. The correct name is HMS Hood.
-
IMHO, we dont need warships in SS....This isnt a combat simulator... this is a shiping simulator.
Granted it would be nice to take a large tonnage warship out but unless you are stalking prey, there is really no point to having on in this program..
Large passenger liners, freighters, etc are what this is about- i think that we should have classic liners like QE, QM, QE2, Andrea Doria, Carpathia, Lusitania, France Normandie, United States... we should be able to re-create the Blue Ribband runs by famous ships of the past... have us do Coast Guard missions in famout storms/hurricanes... maybe even the final run of a famous ship- leaving her home port for decomissioning..
Personally - Id love to take a liner out of drydock, down the river and out into the sea to give her a proper sea trial... Or even launch day- have an unfinished ship slide down the ways, and let us tugboat captians pull and push her to the fitting out wharf.
There are tons of ships that we could want, but i think that the military ships dont fit into the general idea of this simulation.
-
I would love to see a Britannic or Lusitania. Because Ive only driven those ships in VS7 a low graphic ripoff. :'(
-
The British Columbia Ferry Corporation of Canada is one of the biggest in the world and they have many different vessels that would be good for the game.
Suggestions for BC Ferry vessels
MV Spirit of British Columbia - http://www.bcferries.com/about/fleet/profile-spirit_of_british_columbia.html
Largest BC Ferry and fleet Flagship
MV Coastal Renaissance - http://www.bcferries.com/about/fleet/profile-coastal_renaissance.html
Largest Double Ended Ferry in the World, Build in Flensburger Germany
MV Queen of Vancouver - http://www.bcferries.com/about/fleet/profile-queen_of_vancouver.html
One of the Original BC Ferries built in 1962
-
Sovereign of the Seas would be an awesome addition.
SS American Star/Australis/America (it's the same ship but had many names) would also be a nice addition to SS08 or SS09.
But guys, we're making some awesome suggestions in here, but do keep in mind that Vstep is not capable of making all of them :P
Edit: corrected a typo.
-
I Would Like To See Passenger Vessels Such As the Paddle Steamer Waverley And Motor Vessel Balmoral :) :) Also I Would Like To See Some Of the Caledonian MacBrayne Ferries :) :) It Would Be Great :)
-
Also iI Would Like To See The QE2 And Other Cunard Ships:):)
-
some smaller trailerboats with outboard engines would be nice, many people want larger ships but i believe there is a need for small craft because, apart from the jet ski and powerboat there are none.
-
The worlds largest container vessel, Emma Maersk! ;D
That was being modeled for SS2008, and when it was finished Maersk refused to allow it in the game because of Copyright. I think you should ask permission first before finishing it to avoid dissapointment.

i Would like to see the Valentijn type rescueboat from the KNRM!:)
-
Love SS 2006 game. for Ideas for the 2008 game How about Thomas J.Morse a Deep Sea Ocean Rescue Tug 250 feet in length, 5000HP diesel powerplant, and capable of towing 20,000 tons of deadweight at 10 knots for 2,000 miles without running out of fuel, (One of the tugs in the Raise the titanic! book), my second request is the HMS Rodney strictly for the steaming and exploring possibilities.
Thanks for your consideration
Brian D.Payne

i'd like to see something from the aussie whaler series somewhere in the game
-
SUPERSPEED 1/2 Perhaps the best Ferries in the World.
Royal Carribbean Liner or any recent builded Cruise Liner,with improved and more close to the reality simulation / manoeuvring response.
-
I would like to see the Icebreaker Yamal.
The N.S Yamal (Russian: Яма́л) is a Russian Arktika class nuclear powered icebreaker operated by the Murmansk Shipping Company. It is named after the Yamal Peninsula in Northwest Siberia; the name means End of the Land in the Nenets language.
Laid down in Leningrad in 1986, and launched in October 1992, after the end of communism in Russia, she never filled her designed role of keeping shipping lanes open. She has always carried passengers on arctic excursions. Yamal took an excursion to the North Pole to celebrate the Millennium. Yamal is the 12th surface ship ever to reach the north pole.
The Yamal is equipped with a double hull. The outer hull is 48 mm thick where ice is met and 25 mm elsewhere and has a polymer coating to reduce friction. There is water ballast between the inner and outer hulls which can be shifted in order to aid icebreaking. Icebreaking is also assisted by an air bubbling system which can deliver 24 m³/s of air from jets 9 m below the surface. The Yamal can break ice while making way either forwards or backwards.
Yamal is one of Russian "Arctic" family of icebreakers, the most powerful icebreakers in the world. These ships must cruise in cold water to cool their reactors, so they cannot pass through the tropics to undertake voyages in the Southern hemisphere.
Yamal carries one helicopter and several Zodiac boats. Radio and satellite communications systems are installed which can provide navigation, telephone, fax, and email services. Amenities include a large dining room (capable of holding all 100 passengers in one sitting), a library, passenger lounge, auditorium, volleyball court, gymnasium, heated indoor swimming pool, a sauna, and an infirmary. She is equipped with 50 passenger cabins and suites, all with toilets, exterior windows, a television, and a desk.
It's specs.(To tell you about the ship and my N.S Savannah isn't exactly detailed right)
Length: 150 m (136 m at waterline)
Breadth: 30 m (28 m at the waterline)
Draft: 11.08 m
Height: 55 m keel to mast head
Displacement: 23,455 t
Maximum speed: 22 knot (44 km/h)
Cruising speed: 19.5 knot (36 km/h)
Crew: 150 (including 50 officers and engineers)
Passengers: 100, in 50 cabins and mini-suites
Power plant: two OK-900 171 MW nuclear reactors
Propulsion: two steam turbines driving 6 generators, total 75,000 hp (55.3 MW)
In my opinion this ship to will be a great addition to SS because in the next SS there will be antartica so why one Icebreaker when you can have 2 Icebreakers.
Wouldn't that be great!
These pics below show her on all of her Expedition's.
-
yeah we got that already hehe. na would be nice to have the jamal but i want Carcarriers!!!
-
I would love to see any vessel that has a large interior; if there's one thing that I love about ships, it's exploring the inside of them!
So I wouldn't mind seeing a larger ship that can be explored upon the inside a bit more; I think that the icebreaker a couple posts above me would be a fun one. Or perhaps the interior of Titanic could be increased somewhat?
-
They say that beauty is only in the eye of the beholder!!!

Some 35,000 tons or so Tankers built around 1959 (with Midships superstructure)
Like my first Ship British Beacon (1959)
Also British Inventor (1970, 225,000 tonnes DWT) on which I sailed maiden Voyage..
And another big tanker , 'Welsh Venture' which I worked on at Blohm and Voss, Hamburg, that would be a good scenario, getting her out of the Drydock-
-
Some of the late 19th century Cunard and White Star ships
CUNARD: UMBRIA, ETURIA (last singlew screw iron hulled Cunarders rigged for sail), CAMPANIA & LUCANIA
WHITE STAR: TEUTONIC, BRITTNIC 2 OCEANIC. These were the last White Star ships built to compete with Cunard on speed. When Isamy Sr. steeped down J. Bruce changed the emphasis to good service speed and luxury The "Big Four" (CELTIC, CEDRIC, BALTIC, ADRIATIC) were nest to be followed by Olympic, Titanic and Gigantic BTW Capt. Smith commanded all of the big 4 on thier maiden voyages

Sorry mate but that is another Class of vessel its a bit smaller.

-
One ship I'd want in the game would be the RMS Mauretania of 1907. She was one of the fastest of the ocean liners in the early 20th century, holding the Blue Riband from 1907 to 1929 (the Bremen snatched the Blue Riband on her maiden voyage). She was beloved by many people in her day and many people were dismayed to see her be sent off to be scrapped; one of whom was Franklin D. Roosevelt who thinks she should have been taken out to sea and sunk whole, giving her a *Viking's funeral*. Either her or the Queen Mary 2 should be added. We need some classic Atlantic liners besides the Titanic and the Titanic needs some upgrades (Grand Staircase anyone?).

Why did they put the "MS" on the name?
-
Firestar, Im not 100% shure but in swedish MS stands for "motor skepp" and thats the same thing as MV. It should be the same thing in norwegian. ;)

Well I know that but most ships don't have RMS or MV or MS included in the name on the bow, it just looks silly.

Royal Mail Ship
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Royal Mail Ship (sometimes Steam-ship, Steamer), usually seen in its abbreviated form RMS, is the ship prefix used for seagoing vessels that carry mail under contract by Royal Mail. They have the right to fly the pennant of the Royal Mail when sailing.[1][2][3]
The designation has been used since 1840.[4] It was used by a many shipping lines, but is often associated in particular with the Cunard line[5][6] and Royal Mail Lines, which held a number of high-profile mail contract business, and which traditionally prefixed the titles of all their ships with the initials "RMS". The Canadian Pacific Railway's trans-Pacific Royal Mail contract required the construction of the first three of a fleet of steamships—the RMS Empress of China, the RMS Empress of India, and the RMS Empress of Britain which regularly sailed between Vancouver and Asia beginning in 1891.[7]
While some lines, particularly the Royal Mail Lines, called all their ships RMS, technically a ship would use the prefix only while contracted to carry mail, and would revert at other times to a standard designation such as "SS".[8]
Originally the Admiralty operated these ships.[9] In 1850 contracts were awarded to private companies. The most valuable route, with the highest volume, was between Kingstown (now Dún Laoghaire), in Ireland, and Holyhead in Wales. The City of Dublin Steam Packet Company (CDSPCo) won the contract and purchased RMS Saint Columa and RMS Llwywllyn from the Admiralty.
Having the title "RMS" was seen as a mark of quality and a competitive advantage, because the mail had to be on time. In the 1860 CDSPCo contract there was a penalty clause of £1 1s 4d for every minute's delay. The White Star Line RMS Titanic was a Royal Mail Ship.
In recent years the shift to air transport for mail has left only two ships with the right to the prefix; RMS St Helena, which serves the island of Saint Helena in the South Atlantic,[10] and RMS Queen Mary 2. QM2 was conferred "RMS" by Royal Mail when she entered service in 2004 on the Southampton to New York route as a gesture to Cunard's history.[11]
Royal Mail aircraft marking.The Royal Mail continues a form of this tradition on modern day airliners. The UK's flag carrier airline, British Airways is contracted to carry mail on some of its scheduled long-distance routes. Aircraft operating these routes with the facilities to carry mail are allowed to display the Royal Mail's logo and crest on their fuselage, usually alongside their registration markings.
The less common designations RMMV, for Royal Mail Motor Vessel, and RMMS, for Royal Mail Motor Ship, were used for a period when RMS was restricted to steam-ships. Motor Ship indicates that propulsion is provided by diesel rather than steam. The designation TS as in TSMV before the name of the vessel would indicate that it was driven by twin screws. The TS designation was also used for the Turbine Ship - "TS Bremen".
MV stands for MOTOR VESSEL
..
Hope informed you well ;) :captain: :thumbs: ;D
-
I dont think they were looking for an explanation RJS87 ;)
I think Firestar was just pointing out the fact that most vessel designers dont put their title on the hull with the name, ussually just the name.
-
As a suggestion(possible add-on) why not add a fishing boat or two to the simulator theme? since they too share the oceans blue. Just a suggestion, 8) you guys who do the graphics could create a fishing boat simulator. :evil: The object is to see how fast and safe purse seining or trawling /trolling can be done and you would take the catch to either a tender or dockside canary for offloading. Too me it would be cool :D , but what do I know ??? . I am just a boat-head vying the seas, catching what I can and moving big ships. Let me know what you think :thumbs: insults to walk the plank are just as welcome, they too are an acknowledgement. Thank you and may you stay afloat with God speed :angel: :captain:

In the next simulator, I want to pilot Venice's boat like these

These are the public transport in Venice.
The company that manage these boats is the ACTV (www.actv.it (http://www.actv.it))
It could be funny if in the new simulator there will be missions in Venice with these boats.
No?
YEAH, me too!!
And don't forget the taxis, you see them everywere! No Venice without the watertaxis ;D

Mabe a hovercraft!
(i'm not sure if this is appropriate, i hope it is)
-
There's already a hovercraft in SS08 - Freedom 90 (http://www.shipsim.com/features/ships.php). But to have another hovercraft, like SR.N4, would be fine also.
Yep a SR.N4 Nk III Would be Super 4
;D
-
I'm thinking of getting SS08-I never knew there was a hovercraft (but how would I?).
I got 06 + add-on for just £10- great value!
Do you think it is worth getting 08 as well as 06?
-
SS 08 are 100 times beater an ss 06, but if you will have the hovercraft you most also bay the New Horizon add on pack or you can bay the shipsim 08 collector edition that have it all
TJK
-
Hi rsstn,
If you get the Collectors edition of SS 2008 you will have "New Horizons" already included. The game is well worth getting as it is a great improvement on SS2006. I think you will find it great fun.
Angus.
-
Thanks,
I will probably get the collectors eddition if anything.

I would really like to see one of the RNLI lifeboats.
They are in Padstow too, which suits rather well since we have that enviorment ;)
I know there that there is a re-paint of it which is great!
But I would love a own boat of it ;)

never heard of her but i do like her she looks nice i have something for older ships
(not saying that she's old)

The ss Rotterdam is a truly wonderfully esthetically pleasing ship to look at. it is now the countries pride and joy as a completely restored ship, opened as a hotel.
They had it as a static ship in the Dutch version I believe.. How nice would it be for the hotel to sponsor the model in SS Extremes, it would be wonderful for us and great advertising for them. :captain:
-
Perhaps VSTEP can update the SS Rotterdam from SS08CE?
-
i have an question i am making a model for the ccc the port of scheveningen, johanna maria ( hektrawler)and flandria seaways
but what do you want to see an ro-ro vessel or a big fishing vessel (hektrawler its bigger than the sigita over the 100meters)

This one

i would like (no, love) to see more dover-calais ferries, like tfm's channel queen.
i'd also love to see more large ferries like finnjet or tallink shuttle

i dont know about new vessels but after playing extremes id like to see titanic return

I'd like to see some Search And Rescue cruisers from the German Lifeboat institution (DGzRS). For example the 46-m-vessel "Hermann Marwede"

Well, any class of the DGzRS is interesting. Knowing the "Hermann Helms" stationed in Cuxhaven I'd love to have this class as well. Concerning the 20m-class I'd rather prefer 23m-classes or higher because of more manoeuvrability as they have two up to three main engines.

"Which vessels would you like to see added to Ship Sim in the future?"
The ones that float.

"Which vessels would you like to see added to Ship Sim in the future?"

here here!
I agree completely
-
Add to that also the ones that fly (hovercrafts, ekranoplans), the ones that go underwater and the ones that stay on ground (grounded ships & oil rigs) - so we have an army of Vstep robots trapped in their office.
-
i will have these 2 they are 2 fishingvessels as you can see but they are not hektrawlers but sidearm fishermen and as far as i know is this the only shipping company who have these they`re called wiron 1,2 (52M) and the wiron 5,6 (56M) these fishing vessel dont tug there nets but it is between them like the little animation below (yes its a ugly animation but it is for the people to give them a look how it works).
its nice for multiplayer or missions
-
a aircraft carryer with interrior ;D that would be so amazing ;D
all the ships every made or at least the ships from vitrual salior :)

i want to see a better yacht, like the one from ss06 or a chriscraft cruiser. :2thumbs:

If you get ShipSimExtreme it features the White Marlin which is based off of the Condor Vitesses :)
not sure what the "Condor comador" is though...?

classy look. ;D
but in order for her to really fit in the game (for missions mostly) we would also need wherever that ferry operates.
-
Streamlining was all the rage in those days..You saw it in locomotives as well.. Here the 'Mallard'
(http://merciarising.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/number_4468_mallard_in_york.jpg)
-
classy look. ;D
but in order for her to really fit in the game (for missions mostly) we would also need wherever that ferry operates.
she operated in Washington state's Puget sound, she was on the Seattle-Bremerton route. she operated from the 1930s to the 1960s. M/V Kalakala is the first streamlined ferry and there is no other ferry like her.
M/V Kalakala is believed to be the first vessel to implement the use of electric-arc welding to fabricate its shape. this technique, perfected on Kalakala, would prove vital to our nation’s defense as we prepared for and subsequently entered world war. The lessons learned in the construction of her superstructure would be used in the construction and repair conducted at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, local shipyards and fabrication facilities nationwide. It has been said that were it not for the welders which applied welding techniques used on Kalakala, the United States would not have been able to recover so quickly from the devastation wrought by Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor.
(here is her horn if anyone is interested http://www.evergreenfleet.com/kalakala.wav (http://www.evergreenfleet.com/kalakala.wav))
-
Although the company wished the vessel to be known as the Silver Swan, the vessel soon attracted other, less complimentary nicknames, including the Silver Slug, Silver Beetle, Galloping Ghost of the Pacific Coast, and, among Seattle's Scandinavian community, Kackerlacka, which means "cockroach". (From Wikipedia.. ;) )

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Kalakala
The engine's crank shaft held the record for the longest in North America. However, it is suspected that the engine and crank shaft may have been poorly aligned. This may have been the culprit for her teeth-rattling vibration. Part of the problem was her propeller. After having her original four-blade prop replaced with a five-blade propeller in 1956, the vibration on the ferry was reduced by a substantial 40%.
Set back from her streamlined superstructure for aesthetics, it was impossible to see the bow of the vessel from the bridge. As visibility also depended on round portholes rather than a fully glazed wheelhouse, she was known for being difficult to handle when docking.

A submarine would be perfect... ;)
-
A sub would be very nice, but in order for that to happen V-Step would have to model the world below the ocean and would probably cause lag even if you're in a classic surface ship. Remember that undersea mountains, valleys, and rifts would have to be added, as well as the underwater portion of icebergs and maybe coral for Bora Bora. Also it gets dark underwater and the current light system on ships is just dots of color. But if subs are ever added it would be cool is shipwrecks would also be modeled so you could have exploration journeys (maybe the Titanic in the Atlantic Ocean map?).

It doesn't need to model the ocean because the most of the subs haven't windows.... ;)

Right, but there is the orbit view.

Like MIR or Nautilus, with a mother ship (and the subs as deployables!) along with deployable ROVs from submersibles. But still, lights in the game don't really shine ahead, they're just colored dots. Maybe x meters in front of the sub or closer would be pre-lit. And of course it takes a long time to descend to the sea floor, namely in the north Atlantic. Subs would probably be best in Bora Bora, with the clean, shallow water and already modeled sea floor.
