Title: Latitude
Post by: freeciv on September 19, 2010, 02:43:33
  We all know the Orient Star has no life boats. But has anyone really noticed that the VLCC Latitude                                         doesn't ether!

P.S. I'm not sinking just heavy seas  ;D

Yes, and many other ships are also missing the lifeboats. Like Sigita I suppose there should be a boat on the aft deck, there is a stand for one and a crane but no boat, and the same with others also. I have written it in another thread, but do not remeber which one.

  Yes, but with the other ships you can see were the boats should be. But on the Latitude there is no place for boats!

I've noticed this issue with the Latitude back in Ship Simulator 2008, but never made a thread about it.

Maybe they're putting all their faith in the helipad :doh:

Here is my suggestion what latitude needs

For me she looks perfect  :thumbs:
Heres what she needs:
1. 2 Lifeboats
2. Why not a ship company logo on the funnel?  ::)
3. And maybe enhance the radar mast with some turning radars?

those are my suggestions

Kind regards

I agree that would make her perfect!  ;D
And none  of that is too "hard" to add right?  ???

They'd need to modify parts of the model for any of that.

Like I said in the "Views" topic, it was BEFORE the major updates.

I know this isnt the best pic but that kind of shows where the lifeboats are meant to be placed

This topic is old, there have been major changes since September 18th 2010 (the date I created this topic).

That is just one, relatively small, tanker. This picture shows where the lifeboats are on a VLCC, quite like the placement on "Latitude" in fact. Also see Vin_suns signature picture..

Yeah, Lifeboats on the Latitude would be nice, maybe one like the vertical lifeboat on the Agile Solution.

"Latitude" has two lifeboats, both deployable, in SSE. (See picture)

Title: Re: Latitude
Post by: The Ferry King on March 04, 2011, 16:54:06

i think 1.3.5 would fix the problem for all

On MP and SP
but with MP it does seem to have the station of the lifeboats but no lifeboat it self

On MP all vessels don't have deployables, since it's an actually ship itself. Your Latitude should have life boats in SP though  :-\
