Personally, I would choose Latitude. Due to its massive size, it takes about 1 minute to reach the 1 Kn, and then it takes more than 5 min to completely stop
-
Unlike "Wats yuore favred ship/bot?", I like this topic. :thumbs:
My target for addressing the hate would be the ship of boredom & the ship that's always not 100% accurate unlike other ships in SS - Titanic
-
you didn't vote, greece..
-
Titanic!!!!
Reason is it is not a ship that is in service and well itjust does not reallybelong. Would be nice if it would act like a magician and dissapear in the nex installment. I have never driven it.
-
This is a strange, yet some how interesting topic.... ;D
Jetski, it is way too hard to control, for it's size. fun to crush, though! :evil:
-
The powerboat and the jetski, there are already loads of games where you can drive fast things in an unrealistic manner, the attraction of shipsim for me is the bigger ships, although I agree with the Titanic stuff, the Titanics handling in Shipsim is interesting.
-
you didn't vote, greece..
Yes, I did. I voted latitude and red eagle
-
Aah, but you cannot hate Red Eagle, she is the easiest ship to drive.. ;)
-
of course i can!!! :doh: ;D

dindt you know that?
VLCC's and ULCC's are so big and heavy that they even take 5 miles to stop from 16.5 knots.
and almost 2 miles just to turn :o.
hope you understand.

Perhaps a better title for this topic might be “Ships I find too challenging to handleâ€.
I can understand why one might find a particular ship, or an entire type of vessel, uninteresting. In that case, one would not bother with them; SS provides a wide diversity of types. Hating a ship, however, implies that one has spent enough time trying to operate it to have become frustrated in the attempt.
Titanic suffers from having a fan club that others often find tiresome. She is, however, one of the better ships for learning the basics and the details of careful ship handling. Many users tend to go through missions like the ball in a pinball game.
It is true that jetski and powerboat are often operated in a reckless and unrealistic manner, but that can be said of most other ships in the fleet. One problem with the powerboat lies with the creators of arcade missions involving ramps. Most have the waypoints left at the default diameter so that it is not necessary to actually go over the ramps. A better diameter would be 3 meters or less.
As for the slowness of some ships: The clock time that it takes for a ship to get up to speed, and the true speed that it makes depend greatly upon the FPS that your system can support.

We can take the term "hate" loosely.. It means "ships I am having trouble with".. ;)
-
Oh, it is not important, the meaning is exactly the same :captain:
Should I add "Eirik Raude" oil rig???
-
Hey i have a question. How do you make a topic or comment? ??? If you can tell me that would be fantastic. :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: thank you!
-

Because you can't handle it at all? ;D

who ever voted titanic was the worst, you are the worst. Titanic is awesome

I know I'm a bad guy after that. Don't deserve to live in this world now. No, actually I'm proud of what I did.

Aw c’mon guys! Which one of you told whitestarline how to make a comment?
Don’t we have enough of that already?
Seriously: Best you all refrain from name calling.
-
What are you on about..? It's all cool..
-
RPA12 because it keeps turning an hour after you set the rudder straight and harbour tug because it just is.

Hi Salty,
It may start out cool, but someone who does not understand the limits will escalate it to the point where someone is hurt.
We have seen many recent examples of that.
Regards,
Marty

We'll cross that bridge when we get there.. ;)
-
Unfortunately, when that bridge, or line, is crossed it is often not possible to single out the one person to be sanctioned.

I would have to say the Jet Ski, it's very fast and hard to turn at such high speeds.

What's wrong with that?
I don't have too much problem steering, but then my controller is proportional so :-\

I completely agree wit this!
People who love or hate Titanic aren't ship enthousiasts. Both groups!
In my opinion, you must first learn to appreciate a ship for how she handles.
That is why I chose for the big cruise ship Ocean Star. The dynamics are horrible.
(wich ISN'T in the list!!)
RPA12 wich keeps on turning is realistic, so I like that.
-
IRL the ship i hate the most is whichever heap of rust i happen to be on at the time! :P
-
I know I hate? none of those vessels. I hate (greece) for making this post. and placed at the titanic as the worst. a little respect to those among us who are not insulting. the vessel is to insult the people who were in it. :angel:
Sorry for bad translation. ;D :evil:

WAT IN GODS NAAM!! >:(

I'm going to guess someone who didn't like it...
-
Jet Ski is too fast and too hard on turning rate making her impossible to sail, and the other is Vermaas, Vermaas though does have a Bow Thruster and propeller, she keeps turning left a bit when you forward engines. And also, why aren't the New Horizons ships in the poll and where are the ship yards Elbe, Furie, Selsey I, II, III, Wachthaven III, and Flying Cloud? Shouldn't this poll have all the ships to see what ships completely are known as bad over the others. Just a thought.
-
I just noticed something, Northern Star isn't on the poll.... not saying I do not like, it's my fav boat. but someone else's opinion is allways needed.
-
Ocean star allso isn't in the poll.
Do some research before you start a topic!
-
None of the New Horizons ships are in the poll, nor the Shipyard ships.
-
Guys the thread is a bit of fun in small talk, there is really no need to flame the hell out of the poor guy just because he missed a couple of ships out.
