I really don't like the Jet ski, its like a headless chicken running around like mad when you put it up to full throttle, its actually dangerous, imagine having that in MP.......the word *accident* suddenly pops into my head :D ;D

Its spelt poll. I agree with Jack about the jetski, if your ss08 is running at less that about 22fps, then the jetski doesn't react properly as it reads the rudder direction etc for too long. but I may have just made that up  ;D

Look, I can't stand all the Jetskis in the lake that I take my boat and I can't stand them in Ship Sim.

For our 135hp bowrider my dad calls them "Speed Bumps" :D

Was this in multiplayer or free roam, because i don't really understand why you would hate them if they were ramming you. Its not the ship's fault, surely it is the captain's fault or the AI system?
Title: Re: most disliked ship poll

mp but ramming are never in large ships if you ever notes allways small ships and so i hate all small ships

JetSki - a Rammers dream  ;D
Title: Re: most disliked ship poll
Post by: llamalord on July 03, 2008, 17:07:55
When I was on my local lake with my boat yesterday, and I was slowlylike 2 knots driving towards the trailer waiting on the ramp...

There was a couple of high schoolersprobably not old enough to drive them anyway on jetskis right in front of the ramp/trailer :( even when I gave them a good blast of my boats horn they didn't move. >:(

I wanted to run them over. ::)

Hovercraft would be a good ramming tool because it gets no damage and it just bounces off things.
Title: Re: most disliked ship poll
Post by: pauljanaway1 on July 03, 2008, 18:04:07
but the handleing is so twichy it takes a lot of pratise to get it in the right place to ram that and it is not on any server
Title: Re: most disliked ship poll

And i hate the steering on the Jetski. it turns so fast that is uninpossible to drive straight ;D

I hate the small crafts which are in the waters all the time because i almost completed one mision and a speed boat just smashed into my boat and i was a patrol boat there should be horn signals when you blow your horn aswell. I agree about the jetski it handles like a chiken its so horrible to control i let my girlfriend use that and she hated it after 2 minute she went back to the speed boat rameing the ships lol. Aswell its good fun thow but i despise the jetski its horrible to handle and handels so horrible one little twitch on the contorls and it becomes a night mare to handle. I rather use a head less chicken

I wish I could've picked more than one. I hate all of the small boats. They are boring. Only the large ships are what I play in. There is no challenge in the small boats.

Well hate is a very strong word  ::)

Dislike or prefer larger boats would of been better

Hi Nathan.

If he does hates them, it would be appropriate to say so, I think.

Post by: Nathanael on July 19, 2008, 11:07:27
Uh, I hate the tugs.  ::) They are just for some odd reason really annoying to me.  :-\

Well, yeah the jetski is very annoying as well, but you have to admit it is pretty entertaining controlling it. Pretty funny too! :)

Yeah, that seems to be a touchy subject. A lot of guys feel the same way you do.

I hate how the lattitude can't turn at a good angle and the fact that it is quite slow. I understand why but it takes so long to start and stop >:(.

That's actually what I like about the large ships. It takes a lot more attention to maneouver them than little boats.

I am not saying that I don't like large ships, I am just saying that I do not like the latitude.

Ah. Yeah, She is difficult to handle. It would be nice if there were more guys able to run a tug without doing so much damage you sink.
Title: Re: most disliked ship poll
Post by: The Captain on July 20, 2008, 03:44:44
I agree. I think there needs to be a tug with those tires you see on the sides, so we can push vessels withought hurting them.
Title: Re: most disliked ship poll
Post by: Capt. Le Velle on July 20, 2008, 05:53:24
i just wish we had better push knees on the harbor tug maybe some with padding on it

That may be true, but the pads still hurt the ship and it is not a flat surface to push a ship.

The jet skis do seem to be most unliked. Is that because they're difficult, or just that people want to run them down (as many ship owners seem to in real life).

If the driver of the jet ski was a Spambot (read: babe)...I can sure you that the situation would be different ;D

Besides, the people models in the game arent perfect ethier. Maybe we can ask Vstep to make a girl character for 2009 ;D. I am not that interested but it seemed like a good idea for you love birds ;D.

Me and NathanC are good at pushing/towing ;D

It can be done without damage, pushing that is.

But yes, i do agree, there should certainly be functioning tyres on tugs. And fenders on smaller vessels.

Jack.

Just don't get that level of realism in the game, though... Shame.

I know, its terrible isn't it, v-step should design a girl and put her into the ship yard, i'd say they would make a great profit haha :D ;D

i think that would add realism to the game to have fenders
