Hello. I am a new member, and I am all at sea (lol) in understanding this web site, and finding my way around. This is my very first attempt at posting some of my thoughts. I can’t figure out the right places wherein to voice my comments / suggestions for future development of Ship simulator. I have thoroughly enjoyed the ‘game’ so far. However, I do not regard it so much as a game, but as a serious vehicle of training and practice. I live in the Merseyside area of England, and I am very disappointed that the river Mersey and the port of Liverpool doesn’t feature here. Being one of the most famous ports in the world it has SO much to offer, with its landing stages, famous Liverpool water front, the river approaches from the Irish sea, the river itself with its 7 knott tides, entrances to dock systems and the Manchester ship canal – to say nothing of the variety of vessels, from ferries to tugs and dredgers, freighters, cruise liners, small pleasure craft and sailing clubs, along with periodic tall ship extravaganzas! Loads of challenges could be created here!
I also have a few grumbles to make on the present structure of the ‘game’ and annoying traits, and suggestions to make for improvements.
WHERE, however, do I make my comments and suggestions? The suggested forum categories are very confusing and unclear to me.

Did I mention the private plane with lots of private Spambot and private stuff. ::)
Lol back to topic.

with those perks, I doubt you would ever get there... ;)

Hi Carl - and Agent Austin.
Thanks for the welcome, and the help links. Still floundering with the site structure, though. lol. ::) How and where do I open up a topic, for instance, about navigation lights on other ships at night? Also to grumble about ships suddenly appearing only two or three miles away when one is on a mission, and why do the 'other' vessels not make adjustments to their course when you know you have right of way at sea? These are just SOME of the topics I would like to bring up.
Ronnie.

Thanks. By the way, is it preferable to log oneself out before one switches off?
-
It is a good idea to logout, yes. I always say that to everyone who asks me (family, friends etc.). Get into the habit of doing it, and you can't ever make the mistake of leaving yourself logged-in if you use a public computer, or someone else's computer ;)
Carl.
-
Ah! I see. Thanks. MUST get into the habit of doing that! lol.
-
No problem :)
LOL, it takes some time to learn all these things, but we all get there eventually :)
Feel free to call on any Moderator if you need help, we are always available to answer questions :)

Well, I'm still looking for 'that perfect Spambot'.......
"Never give up, never surrender" ;D

saltydog probably will :P ;)
I'm like a cheap beer though, no chance of getting drunk :D
-
that was a fun movie: "never give up, never surrender"...
I'm activating the Omega 13..! ;D
-
Speaking of Old Peculiar, here I am! I hope you like the new image. Now that I may leap to DJM's rescue and carve my intials on the assailants, I have to wear the outfit.
Haven't quite recovered after the fall from the 13th floor in another thread. But luckily I fell on my head.
Omega 13.... ;D That was a great film! Do you think they're extracting the Michael, Mr Sulu?
When I imported the wife, she took me to see that one. Being a fan of Tim the Toolman, she had seen it before, in the States. Otherwise I'd have missed it completely.
-
First of all, the Zorro thing really works for you Terry.. ;D
It allways amazed me that once our hero put that tiny bit of cloth over his eyes, he was un-recognizable..
That had me up in stitches... :D
The movie is actually "Galaxy Quest", and I believe they're thinking of a part 2
I certainly hope they "make it so"... ;D
-
"Imported the Wife", I like that description ;D
Nice Avatar Terry :D

I thought you'd noticed the avatar when I so courageously protected you from the evil Dr A|A.
Yes, I had to pay the British Consulate several hundred pounds for an "Wife Import License*" in New York. Would have been cheaper and easier to import a horse. But we wouldn't have chatted so much, I suppose.
* also known as "Indefinite Leave to Remain"
-
A horse is not so good looking either ;)

3:30 at Cheptow last week. She was a doll.
-
ROFL, that one surprised me :D :D :D
Do you ever NOT have a comeback? ;D
-
Terry allways has to have the last word..
It must be his feminine side.. :D

I do not! ;D
(always have to have the last word, or have a feminine side. Just ask all the Spambot in my life).
-
Not to question your manhood, but us guys usually do have a feminine side..
That's why we like to wear hats (and silly masks..).. ;)
-
But I am (roll of drums)
Terry the Great.
I am super manly, able to squash small insects with a stamp of my foot.
Well, no, actually I believe in the sanctity of all life. That's why I'm a vegetarian. I don't eat things that have faces.
Hmmm.. OK then.
-
;D :D ;D you the man, Terry !
I'm off to bed, great fun, see you later MEN.. ;D
-
Yep. See you later, my friend.
But remember:
Sleep is for weaklings.
That is the time that the dream catchers catch your dreams and weaken you... ;D
Sleep well. I, Terry the Magnificent, will protect you from the creatures of the imagination.
