I play Ship Simulator because of the friendly, online community. And i also play it because i love ships/boats/vessels. My dad owns a real boat and we go out on it now and again, so thats basically why i like Ship Simulator because i have a general interest in vessels.

I play ship sim because:
1- I have always wanted to see how it felt on the bridge of a ship.
2-It is a good experience.
3-I thrive on coordination ;D.

I enjoy shipsim as an extension to my real life, and enjoy the ability to continue as if it had never ended, Like Sadsid but older, I am another Sad old 75 year old that cannot let the past go.

The Pride of Rotterdam is one of the standard game ships  ;)

You can sail the English channel, but not Dover/Calais
