Vstep?!? Promise something they can't deliver? Vstep wouldn't do that...

Rbsanford · « **Reply #23228 on:** July 06, 2012, 18:55:37 »

no, they would just promise it, say it will be released, for example, later this year, and it comes six months later than the planned release date.

They usually bring more than what was promised.

Ferryman, how's you Ferryard doing or went bankrupt long ago?

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #23230 on:** July 06, 2012, 19:06:39 »

Its doing OK thanks

Just popping in... · « **Reply #23231 on:** July 06, 2012, 19:08:10 »

Nice to hear. Keep 'em launching!

I'm kinda running my "ship yard" too, but yet only on papers & in mind.

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #23232 on:** July 06, 2012, 19:09:04 »

The mind is always a great place - no limits then

Just popping in... · « **Reply #23233 on:** July 06, 2012, 19:11:25 »

Limits are length of a model - less than 28 cm or real ship - less than 92 m, maritime rules for ship design, etc.
I'm specializing on "green" wind assisted cargo ships.

Good evening Cookie Box, sailed from somewhere at 17:00 this afternoon, arriving somewhere else about 90 minutes after my phone rings tomorrow morning.

At least it will be the weekend so no e-mails from the ofice tomorrow.

Hope everyone is OK. Good to see you back again WM.

Thanks, clanky, but not for long!

I'm specializing on "green" wind assisted cargo ships.

wind assisted huh? I invented an eco-friendly engine where water is piped in via manholes beneath the waterline. water is then filtered and used to power a hydraulic engine. Water vapor and steam is the exhaust, so it can form clouds, which would rain down more water to replenish the ocean.

the idea was originally used to clean the Yangtze River, but I guess it could apply anywhere. And the ships that are equipped with the engines are bullet-shaped to reduce wind resistance, making it go fast, but not use too much water.

Exactly wind assisted ships to save fuel.

Clanky, is your wake-up call something along the lines of "Chief... You know how you told me not to break anything whilst on watch? well... *I* didn't break it, the bridge did"
