Does this mean that some star lines will be closing down?
-
Yes it does. At the moment, Rainbow Star, Orange Star, Sunset Star, and Green Star are gone, to make way for the new company.
-
Good t hear, I didnt even know green star existed! stremlining is exactly whats needed.
-
Diamant - Titan is owned by the creators of the star lines, there will be no 'sister' companies. I think most users would agree with me that the star lines started to get a bit crazy, we wanted to take most of those companies offline, and streamline, making one forum with little extras perks and information.
RMSGB- Thanks for the support. I agree fully, all the extra companies with few members and fewer posts could be streamlined for easier use, namely into Titan!
UPDATE- Titan will take over the BSL servers starting tonight at 10pm Norway Time. At startup tonight, Titan will be operating 4 servers, this number will grow to 10 by the end of the week, and as our new server PC comes online, there will be the capacity to handle 16 total servers, all to help you better. Please check out Titan Shipping and our MP Servers, and let us know if there is anything you would like to see....ie environments or ships in a specific server....thanks

all welcome to join us

Good luck with it :)
I don't want to rain on your parade, but having 10 servers would mean that people would be all over the place, instead of in one server like they used, to, so it would be less active :-\

so blue star is going aswell? (well, being taken over) Even better, because that means the big one if you like is being taken over and this one forum will be even better.
-
Thanks SA. What would you suggest? I just want everyone to have options on ship and environment combinations that you won't find on any other MP servers. Plus, we won't run the second pc for about a week, and then there will be testing for a week.....just we won't have any downtime like we used to....
RMSGB- Blue Star is owned by Kapn Jonah, it's not going anywhere. This is just another cleaner option, and currently, Titan Admin TJK is operating BSL's Servers. That will end at 10pm tonight when they become Titan Servers.
-
Oh I see sorry
-
Diamant, I can only speak for the new server pc I am building now, but I assure you that it will be adequate for your needs. 2xpent4 mb, 6 gb ram, with a T1 line, and it is exclusively for ShipSim MP. I will have this online within a week. In the meantime, TJK will have his new server pc open for Titan as of 10pm tonight. Thank you for your input, I am sure one of our servers will reflect your interests.

I don't mean to sound, whats the word...."Funny", but, Don't you think its a bit sort of "taking over" To advertise that you do everything, tugs, cruise etc? Insted of focusing on what your team members are good at?
For example, I don't have my signature down there just for the sake of it, it means something to me, going back to the old Marseille days etc. If I said that, I do, Cruise shipping, cargo shipping, trawling etc. that would be a bit "Taking over" Type thing (In my eyes)
But thats just my opinion, good luck with it! :)
-
Jack, we tried to do that with the Rainbow Star Lines, I owned GSL, the tug branch, and it was a completely dead forum. We just feel that this is the way to attract all users, with all of the available ships and services. Thanks for the well wishes though....
-
RMSGB: You didn't know Green Star didn't exist because it didnt. I bet he is just making it up for you to join his site. And whats rainbow star?
I once got banned on one of these silly virtual star line topics once. I'd hate to get banned again or ruin the surprising high spirits of this one, but one question:
Whats the Point?

Maybe that is because you need people that have the tug interest at heart :thumbs: :)

Gloat, in the interest of being adult, I'll just make a few points.
1 Green Star did exist, if you look on Blue Star, or Orange Star, there are still links to it.
2 I don't fish or pm to boost membership. All I did was advertise here in one topic.
3 Titan isn't a star line. As to you getting banned, I don't know, but I bet you broke a rule.
4 The point is for those of us who enjoy such things to have a place to talk about it. If you don't enjoy it, that's your business, but why come here and complain about it?
Thats all I have to say about that....
-
Jack, I wish there were more. Every time I'm in MP, there are always people in tugs looking to help out. If they would come to the forum and give feedback, just tell us what they'd like to see in MP, and we could make almost any event you could think of. I wish there were more of us interested in the forum end of things.
-
Oh - so I am to take that this is for adults?
I apologise if the answer is yes.
Just remember not to make such a big deal out of it like posting it everywhere. I know people who get really annoyed -just a tip.
-
You know what Diamant? THANK YOU. Thats what I love to hear. The new pc should be fast enough with a T1 line to avoid much lag. The weather and time is something I hadn't even considered, but would be the next obvious choice in changes we will make. You should see that happen tonight. Unfortunately, I think that any more discussion about this has to happen at Titan, so the Mod's here don't get upset with me. Thanks for your input

Yes sir, Titan is run by adults, for adults. We don't discourage kids, everyone should get to learn, but we are definitely adults. Its ok for thinking otherwise though, I've seen plenty of what you're trying to avoid, and I spent a while doing the same thing, thats why I started Titan, to cut through all the kid stuff. And yes, this topic is the only place you'll see me advertise on the ShipSim forum. Thanks for the tip.

Your Welcome

This is just my take on it, but
The reason why I never ever made my little hobby (towing) in any way official was because I thought it would take the "tradition" out of it. Its always really been remembed going back to Marseille (Multiplayer) and I would rather keep it that way, sort of, made a name for myself with towing back then. It was great fun, sadly now, its more of a novelty of the past, My signature, since the amount of servers, server software etc. has spread everyone about, meaning we aren't at one or two servers.
Back then, we'd all be at Marseille server, mainly in the evening, I'd sit along the harbour wall at North entrance and bring the Vermaas's in, there used to be that many players that they would be lined up outside the docks waiting to come in, I remember it well! :) Miss it :'( There always used to be members that would be there every day, like Fox, Rafax etc.
I think the important thing is, you really need to have basis on your company, if your going to make one, as in, it at one time/or does serve a purpose to the community, rather than saying that "I'm going to make a company" Out of the blue. Although, I never took it that far, as like I said above, Its more of a hobby/tradition for me. Ask a few of the members that have been around for a while, and you'll understand more about old Marseille hehe :thumbs:

The server that is up now is TJK's server. I have spoken with him, and he is changing the settings sometime today, i'm just not sure when. The name issue is a problem with the language barrier, we'll have it fixed in a few. Thanks for the notice though.....

Not bad, but: why the name of each is "TITANIC SHIPPING" instead of "Titan Shipping"?. Also add Igor K., and can you make the time running there or it'll be always showing the one & the same time no matter when joining, but don't make the deep dark night there. :D Thanks
+ also add powerboat, please. Marseilles is a good place to race.
I was thinking about titanic when i writhe the name lol but no it's right yes i shall add the powerboat if you behave and not crash int someone to sink them ;D :D dun now + igor k and time are running on all servers and weather changes every 30 minutes

Hope, Titan Shipping won't cause the appearances of the sister companies, such as Britan Shipping or even Olymp Shipping. I remember how it was like after Red Star Line there were born such as Blue, Black, Purple, Orange, Super & other Star Lines!
our company TITAN SHIPPING will not be a copycat of no forum, it will be unique.
so most of the thing you will see on us are ours and not copy from other forum

so scott,
your saying that a few star line are shut down to make way for titan shipping? Why not keep the other forums and link them all to titan shipping to let them know were a superior star line/shipping company?

That was tried with RainbowStarLine with no luck
-
so I think it would be best to reopen them but not for ss08 for some but still connected to it. I will try to reopen the OSL for sketchup and google earth.

-
Can I remind you all that the rule is that you can announce your forums in Small Talk, but you MUST keep your chatter and administration talk to your own forum. Don't do it here.
Thanks.
-
Sorry Terry. I tried to keep it down. I started it, I'll finish it. Topic locked for 24 hours, calm down guys. Keep the arguing at our own forums.

Final reminder that you can announce your new forums here in Small Talk, but we do insist that you take your admin talk and any discussions about that forum to your own forum.
Thanks.

Tired of joining forum after forum, trying to find an active community of ShipSim users? Have questions about specific aspects of ShipSim?
That are the reasons why i registerd to the offical ShipSim forum..... why go anywere else if you all find it here...
-
ROTFLOL Good point there, Ballast! ;D
I mean like, doh! We have excellent technical support by Terry and all the others with a hughe knowledgement of computers and progamming. The mix of forummembers of future, active and retired mariners, that combined with other shipping enthusiast and people like mvsmith who really know what they are talking about creates a hughe amount of knowledge. The forum is pretty active, lots of contests like the POTM. It's the shortest line to the developers. If you post your idea's and comments here, the chance is bigger Vstep will do something with it instead of posting it on a un-official forum.
Besides all that, i really appriciate it that TJK and S.Reich are voluntary giving the possibilty to let us sail on their servers. They spend money and their free time on it. The support by TJK is also excellent. I'll take my hat off for that!

thanks for the kind words as well ballast, it's good to hear that someone appreciates us, i know our ppl at Titan do.
That are the reasons why i registerd to the offical ShipSim forum..... why go anywere else if you all find it here...
I can't seem to find a tugboat team competition or a race, or another multiplayer game from Vstep, or this forum. :) There are a few things that aren't here......

Well, we had several meetings in the beginning of MP, but there was a hughe difference between people who said they would come and people who actually showed up :(
-
Thats why we do it on a seperate forum. The people who show up are the ones who aren't satisfied with this forum alone. They come to us for events, or just to get to know other people that enjoy the game. Please come to our race this month. March 29, 1pm US eastern time. I'd really like you to see that this 'other' forum idea can work. We want to try to really impress you guys, especially the diehard users from SS06, both with the function of our servers, and the host of new ideas we have.
