Title: Remember Elbe and Furie :P?
Post by: Third Mate on June 20, 2008, 10:25:37
OMG, today i was looking at the multiplayer servers and i have seen the two tugs, im having a feeling they might be 80% way of translation complete and would be ready for service in about a moth or to? Sorry im just exited to sail Furie especially as well as Elbe  :D.

The Ships have locks on them if there are in the addon. And that is not his server its someone elses.

Apparently these ships are in testing and will be released as single ship downloads in the next 2-3 weeks for us  ;)

They will cost money though  :-\

A VSTEP developer said to a friend of mine that they are currently making the final changes to the dynamics and the first out of the 2 should be available 2 weeks from now, with the 2nd becoming available the week after that. And they will be sold at no more than £6.00 each apparently

Thick black smoke alright, and yes the person who got the info about the elbe and furie was me. And according to the developer the first ship will arrive in about 2 weeks and the next a few weeks later. I'll keep you updated on this topic :)

If you can find NH for £6 i wanna know about it  ::)
Title: Re: Remember Elbe and Furie :P?
Post by: pauljanaway1 on June 21, 2008, 14:24:55
no he said £6 each and £12 for 2 ships is alot
Title: Re: Remember Elbe and Furie :P?
Post by: NathanC on June 21, 2008, 16:10:42
It's so expensive because they are raising funds to keep the ships running, £12 isn't a lot to ask for to keep 2 classic ships sailing
Title: Re: Remember Elbe and Furie :P?
Post by: pauljanaway1 on June 21, 2008, 17:00:21
it is conperd to nh which has lots of ships and a new port

Yes, but the money is helping to keep thw two tugs going.

I think it is worth paying more for two good quality models which is helping keeping the real ships going, instead of them losing money and being scrapped.

That's exactly what i said - pauljanaway, they are so expensive to keep these 2 beautiful ships running, £6 is not so much to keep 2 90 year old vessels going is it?

The first ship will come out in 1-2 weeks now, the second ship will come about 2 weeks after, that is what i have told by the developer.

What a pity that some players do not recognise the work and care that has been put into these two models. I would think that £6 sterling was a very fair price to pay, particularly as some of the proceeds will go to help with the upkeep of these two historic vessels. Nothing is for nothing and such beautiful ships do not grow on trees. ::) Oh, and by the way, the ships are in the final stages of testing as I write.
Title: Re: Remember Elbe and Furie :P?
Post by: pauljanaway1 on June 26, 2008, 11:30:15
somone said £6 each that is £12 for the two which is alot comperd to the addon pack witch is £14 and you get 8 ships and a new port

How detailed will those vessels be?
Title: Re: Remember Elbe and Furie :P?

These two ships are very detailed indeed. Perhaps far more so than you could think. Brilliant models in fact. There are improvements underway since that video was made. Note the sound of the chain driven steering gear on "Furie", that is truly realistic.

When you compare prices for Elbe & Furie, remember that the sale of these models was to help pay for maintenance.

WOW, i cant believe it its actually the SHIPS ;D, it's so great "P.I wonder dough, how come Furie is not shooting thick black smoke and how come Elbe sounds like shepra instead of a "different" kind of engine sound?  or is that meant to be the acual engine sound of the Furie? im a bit confused.
