Title: Orient Star - where are the lifeboats?
Post by: The Ferry Man on August 27, 2010, 12:17:37: Hi

Not wanting to complain, but judging from pics I have seen, there are no lifeboats onboard the Orient Star?

Is there a reason for this - even in trials I am pretty sure they always have lifeboats...

Right, you can't deploy them in free roam, no.
Only in missions :/

The davits are the metal arms that raise and lower the lifeboats.

Right, you can't deploy them in free roam, no.
Only in missions :/

If a ship is fitted with deployable boats they CAN be used in free roaming. E.G. Agile Solution, Vermaas, POR (RIB only) and others. :thumbs:

Sorry, not POR. my apologies.

Post by: Matthew Brown on August 27, 2010, 19:38:02: Oh ok, brilliant thanks Traddles :)

Looks like it shall be quite fun! :thumbs:
Title: Re: Orient Star - where are the lifeboats?
Post by: Traddles on August 27, 2010, 19:44:09: Sorry folks I made a mistake. :-[ The Rib on POR can not be deployed, but Agile Solution, Orient Star (RIB), Orient Prince and Vermaas all have deployable boats in Free roaming. My apologies for a misleading comment.

Title: Re: Orient Star - where are the lifeboats?
Post by: Matthew Brown on August 27, 2010, 19:49:42: No worries Traddles ;D
I'm quite glad you said that, I prefer Orient Star to have a RHIB than POR!
Title: Re: Orient Star - where are the lifeboats?
Post by: Traddles on August 27, 2010, 20:10:49: Matthew, POR is fitted out with two lifeboats and an RIB on each side, but sadly they are not deployable. :(
Title: Re: Orient Star - where are the lifeboats?
Post by: Matthew Brown on August 27, 2010, 20:15:23: Ok thats fine :thumbs:
Slightly dissapointing, but like I said I much prefer the Orient Star to have deployables than the POR. :)
Title: Re: Orient Star - where are the lifeboats?
Post by: The Ferry Man on August 27, 2010, 20:19:38: The Ocean Star from what I have seen in Free roam though is... well . "naked" :o

Completely lifeboatless... :-\
