Title: What Boat Would You?
Post by: Saphire on December 22, 2007, 09:10:54: In the new mutiplayer what ship would you use?

By the way I dont want this topic full of where do you get it? Look in the downloads or in the announcements.

Post by: [RWP]DJM on December 22, 2007, 09:34:36: I'm a fan of the smaller boats in Multiplayer, Pilot boat/Speedboat etc. :)

Although, I still like RJ4 too ;D

Post by: Sam on December 22, 2007, 13:52:59: My favourite combination is the Vermaas with 2 or 3 small tugs.

Ive allready tried it but it is verry difficult.

you can get add-on boats if you get a SS2006 add-on licence key registered, then you can download the SS2008 add-on at your profile ;)

btw i love huge and big and state-of-the-art so i choose for the ocean star! ;D badly the add-on doesn't work on downloaded versions :'(

Post by: budbud on December 27, 2007, 21:50:31: Hi
my favourite is the sherpa but I like also the vermaas and the PoR.
By the way is it possible to have all the ships available for the servers because sometimes the list of choice is quiet strange, vermaas without tugs....?
Why is there only few ships available in the servers?

Post by: saltydog on January 29, 2008, 01:36:32: Guess I'm the only one to say the Red Eagle.. :D
and I also rather like the P6
Title: Re: What Boat Would You?
Post by: NathanC on January 31, 2008, 17:03:00: I like the larger ferries, but when i want to be a rescue guy i take the Arie Visser, and when i want to be port control i just choose any ship and pull over at the side.
Title: Re: What Boat Would You?
Post by: Shipaddict on January 31, 2008, 21:36:47: I also agree with Saltydog now, ever since I mastered handling Red Eagle, it's been my favourite ship! :D ;D

I still can't pilot that ship......mine's kinda like a Red Pigeon :o :D
Title: Re: What Boat Would You?
Post by: Shipaddict on January 31, 2008, 22:00:43: Red Pigeon! :D Hmm, it will be big news this:

"Red Funnel order new ship to be made red pigeon"

Ferry company Red Funnel have ordered a new ferry that is to be called "Red Pigeon". The first captain of this ship will be [RWP]DJM.

:D it would be funny watching you go up the Solent! :D ;D
Title: Re: What Boat Would You?
Post by: [RWP]DJM on January 31, 2008, 22:03:13: LOL :D

Maybe [RWP] could mean Red Wild Pigeon then eh :P :D

I agree, If people try to ram you you can turn her pretty quick!
Title: Re: What Boat Would You?
Post by: saltydog on February 01, 2008, 14:00:25: She can turn on a dime.. :)
I hope they make a helm for the other direction, seems pretty essential for a ferry.. ;D
Title: Re: What Boat Would You?
Post by: mvsmith on February 01, 2008, 15:38:52: Dawg,
Unless I misunderstood your question, there is a stern helm position:

If you meant an external set for going the other way, I apologize.

Marty

Post by: saltydog on February 01, 2008, 15:52:02: Thanks for that Marty,.. :)
Title: Re: What Boat Would You?
Post by: white runner on February 01, 2008, 20:44:29: Mine would be all the big ships
Title: Re: What Boat Would You?
Post by: mvsmith on February 03, 2008, 00:32:18: Dawg,
If you want to steer with the external controls while going â€œbackwardsâ€â€”red funnel on port side, you can still do it rather easily by adapting the short discussion in the Mission Editor Tutorial:
The left pair of wheels is now the stern VSP; the right pair, the bow. The thrust indicators should point downâ€”6 oâ€™clockâ€”to go ahead.
Steering is intuitive if you use the left wheelâ€”turning the wheel left turns the ship to port, because the stern is pushed to starboard. The right wheel is like a bow thruster, but she turns in the opposite direction to the wheel.
Youâ€™ve probably figured all this out already, and I got a bad headache for nothing. :)
Regards,
Marty
