I voted others,because the Norway is not in that list.

I voted Normandie - however, do note, this is a duplicate topic - I made the original thread to this topic a couple weeks ago.

-
I UPDATED THE POLES

I watch it and tell you about it Dave! ;)

gREAT - THANKS.
I noticed RMS Queen Mary is more popular than RMS Queen Elizabeth. Why?
-
Queen Mary was considered a more homely ship I think. I read the Elizabeth had darker colours and stuff. :)
-
8) SS United States 8)
Last ocean liner Blue Riband holder, landmark during the fifties, like the Superconstellation in the air.

I dont like american ocean liners. They are too bland unlike the lavish european liners.

That rivalry doesnt need :-[ to be recreated, I think. It ended with the war, when Normandie was seized by the US, who renamed her to "La Fayette" and then burned :( her in NY through carelessness. Less dramatic than a shipwreck at sea, it is still a very unhappy and not so glorious ;D fate, reminding of some hostile and enduring feelings between allied people.
It is only 50 years later that a ship from Brittany Ferries received the same name, and on their site you will read "Named after the French region of the same name..." without :-[ any reference to her predecessor, and that, although the name of La Fayette has been used by France and/or the US for naval vessels since WWII.
But of course the "paquebot" (packet boat ;) ..) is a fantastic achievement, as a design and as a mechanical piece of art: steam/electrical propulsion...
My English being what it is, what does "bland" ??? mean in relation to ships? Is it "soft"? Do you mean "Nordic design", or "Ikea", or "Scandinavian style" vs "kitsch", "1900" or "Victorian" .... I know not much (euphémisme) of design.

"bland" means "smooth", "lacking character," "not distinctive." W/ reference to food, for example, it means something like "needs more salt."
I think this is a preference for Victorian design over the more "modern" (50s) design of something like the SS United States. That is a debate where there is no winning: "de gustibus non est disputandem".
Cheers,
Michael

Thanks Michael, I was not that far... I too prefer cosier furniture than hard seats, and I agree that a Fifth Element interior, Ã la Mickey of the Disney Magic, or a Victorian one (if such a thing still exists) can appeal more than the Formica style, even for a ship.
The France had also such an industrial design interior, although it was regarded as brilliant.
The interior design of an ocean liner is indeed another factor of approach.

Luc
-
The queen mary and normandie wernt done in the victorian design, they were done in art deco. All european liners after the SS ile de france were done in that style until the launch of the SS France in the 1960's.
-
I would like to see the QM2, or the Poseio (from the 2006 film) ;D
-
Hello,
Thanks to these explanations, I know a bit more over interior design styles, particularly that it is an intricate matter: streamline modern, modern, Art Deco,...
Perhaps do you know how the style of the pre-WWI, the 1900's is called? Golden Age?
And that of the interior of the SS United States? In these years, we said in French that it was "design". A variation from Art Deco of the 20s.
The meaning was somewhat pejorative, it reminded of poor quality fiberboard, cheap laminate, thin aluminium, uncomfortable seats, bad looking colors.
Laudative too: trendy, modern, light, easy to replace, american... (happy days)
Is there name for it? Industrial style?
Regards,
Luc

I'd love to see ALL the Cunard queens. (Elizabeth, QE2, QM2, Mary);D
-

That would be fun projects to make
-
But maybe there should be an add-on pack for diffrent Lines. One for Cunard, French, Italian, etc. That way people could have the boats they want and more. Or to make it easier on people buying them

Should? And who is going to model all these ships?
Bottom line is people are going to model the ships that interest them, and so they should, IMHO. It's awfully easy to sit back and say "they" should do this or that. Just remember that someone has to do all these things, and that "they" are baling as hard as they can just to keep up with more pressing problems like vessel dynamics.
So: make it yourself, commission someone else to make it (big bucks!), or accept what comes along!
Cheers,
Michael
-
Michael - what you said was a bit unappropriate. What was said before was merely an expression of ideas. Albiet, I see your point, I also see his. HOWEVER, it was not meant in a dictorial fashion. We, in the end, do have to take what is produced, however, collaborations can be formed as well as down the road, maybe commissions.

I would love to see the original Queens, ESPECIALLY Queen Elizabeth.

I really think your attitude was just too harsh for just ONE idea. its not like it was the future of shipsim. I just thought of it as a way to keep the ideas collected. And who says shipsim needs 2 make one for every copany? maybe just Cunard or French Line. It was just an idea.

Okay. Enough said on this matter. Lets move on.

I think that we all should remember that these posts we put on this web site are just suggestions on what vstep should do next. You michel are making it seem like we are demanding that they comply with all our suggestions e.g an addon pack with ocean liners on it, but were not. If vstep wants to take notice of my post and make this addon then yay ;D, but if they dont, so what.
-
They will take notice, if not already. However, now it is a matter of time and cost analysis before such packs would be produced. These packs would have to be deemed "profitable" before production and marketing were to be put into action.
-
I would, however, like to assemble a group to make this product in collaboration with VStep. So if a team could be assembled, who knows, projects such as this may become a reality.
-
I voted OTHERS because I would like to see on an addon for Ship Simulator 2008, the Aquamarina, my favorite Great Lakes cruse liner. :captain:
-
So many great choices, I can't decide on one...
-
I find it strange to include the Mauretania, Lusitania and the Aquatinia when they are too similar to the Titanic and would make the ship diversity in the game not very good.
-
I would like to see DVO Marine's SS United States.. :)

Yeah, That's a lovely model...
I'd also like to see SS United States.

SS Rotterdam (IV) and SS United States are my two fav's.
Maybe in SS2020 ?? Considering my age it would be just in time for my 78th birthday ;D
