Title: Ports like barrow in furness and other short sea ports
Post by: Scanman on October 27, 2009, 10:01:57
Hey im from barrow and furness and i was wondering if a map for barrow in furness or any other uk port could be made. barrow is a great little port ( well not little ) and has made most of the submarines and warships in the royal navy today. i think it would be great to have patch like irish sea ports or something ?  :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs:

Because you can't add your own Ports to the game, plus, its not just a 1-2-3 steps, and bang its in the game.

Yes but the Devs actively look on here for ideas for future additions.

You seem to forget we have a shipyard, which VSTEP said will have addons available from.
Sure, it wasn't updated as much as we would want - but no doubt there will be a better opportunity with the shipyard with SSE.

And you never know what may change with SSE in terms of developments of addons.



.....But time will tell..

They generally look in feature requests and suggestions for... feature requests and suggestions. That is why it is called feature requests and suggestions.

Feature requests and suggestions that are not made in feature requests and suggestions are likely to not be acted upon- in EXACTLY the same way that Feature requests and suggestions made in Feature requests and suggestions are not acted upon! ;D

If you are in any doubt as to what this means, feel free to PM someone else for an explanation.  ;)

Well I agree the topic wasn't posted in the correct place but the topic starter is new. So be patient.

If you want to be picky, you can always ask a moderator to move the topic.

Gone far enough methinks in public. If you catch my drift.

Also, its to me to reply or not. So If I can't be bothered to reply to a snotty 14 year old, then that's up to me.

Let me post some of what I gathered about you:  in one topic you like hinted that you're a captain on Joseph & Clara Smallwood ferry, on some fan-forums in your profile there were displayed that you're 31 years old & even more than that - you have children:
Quote from: http://www.shipsim.com/ShipSimForum/index.php/topic,10276.msg119903.html#msg119903

- and all that right in 14 years, as it turns out now?!  :o     

Well, at least now it blows away the confusion in understanding regarding how come in "31" years you sound like a "snotty 14 year old".


Edit:  Well said, Marty!

NO! I don't need to. Cap't D this whole topic has started getting a bit silly- can't we all just shake hands, blame it on someone (anyone who isn't here to defend himself) and all move on with our lives.

And never before in the field of computer simulation will so much be owed, by so many, to so few.

Would be great to make a video advertising of our campaign & upload it on Youtube. Then with the autorefresh option of your browser make the video "most viewed of today" - that's how it'll be in the "Top viewed videos of today/this week/this month" charts there & it'll get even more popularity.

and Lymington

and Yarmouth

And the Needles

And the South of Wight

But mainly PORTSMOUTH

I couldn't have thought of it without your help, TFM.

Although by the time it was ready, global warming  :sleepy: and rising sea levels  :sleepy: would probably mean we would be asking for the Birmingham ferry port as well.

BTW- what do you think about rising sea levels? Seems a good excuse to get more water in The Dover - Calais environment. More water means more environment which is better value for us.

Yes, as well as offering free beer...   That's how you can increase the speed of level rising.
