Hey Everyone;
I am curious, as I am sure the devs @ VSTEP are, what is your favorite game arena in SS 2006? Also, what is your favorite ships in that area?
-
Rotterdam (in my case of course, born and raised there)
Watertaxi
-
I would say
Rotterdam with the Ocean Star - Love those thrusters
-
Greetings,
Rotterdam for sure,because they have HEINEKEN overthere. :) :) :)

You can get that in any major city in the world at the moment, even New York ;)

HA HA HA But not many places have as cool or challening a harbor as Rotterdam
-
My favourite place has to be New York, I love seeing the statue of liberty and all the tall skyscrapers. :P :D
-
Rotterdam because it has the most interesting routes. I like the sights of New York but for me, the traffic and branching harbours of Rotterdam are best.
-
Rotterdam because there are more way's to go inland. ;D
-
To me rotterdam, beceaus of the many options you have there.
With the harbol patrol (as a pilot) and the container ship (picking the pilot up).
For the beer I would prefer a Belgian port ;) , bring on the Jupiler ::).
-
ha ha ha
-
I like New York ;D
-
I would, but I get a lot of louding issues with New York. EX - When I want to pilot the Ocean Star in NY - Not gon na happen, it bogs down my computer and is SOOOOOOO laggy and sometimes the game engine crashes. It is really a downer.
-
Yeah! New York seems to put a heavier load on the system, particularly the graphics. :(
Cheers.

What kind of performance difference do you get and what are your system specs?
I probably get 1/4th performance.
1 Gig DDR Ram
2.6 Ghz Dual Core Processor
256 DDR Video Card (Gotta get the 512!)
-
New York because there seems to be more action and it just seems to be more interesting.
-
I like Rotterdam. Navagation is hard in foggy weather

Greetings,
Navigation on every part in the world,is hard in foggy weather.But it is more hard if you are a stranger to that area.Example:I sail the river Scheldt(Belgium and Netherland)since i was 8 years old,so i know that river quite good.However when some fog or mist,setts in,than you need to know where you are on this river,before you are able to keep on sailing.
This goes on every river,about the same.If i'm on the game in New-York,that would be hard for me,because i'm never been there.Even with RADAR,it will be hard.

What I ment was that Rotterdam and Hamburg are hard tonavagate in the game because they have alot of turns and Hamburg has shallows
-
New York because there seems to be more action and it just seems to be more interesting.
Yer I agree.
I love new york, it has the statue of liberty and the NY water Taxi and there is alot more room to play with. ;D ;D
NY gets my vote.
-
Rotterdam is presently the most interesting port to work with as all the bouyage which is on the chart is also in the game, unlike other ports represented. The GP cargo ship is my favourite as it is the nearest to the ships I have sailed in, although of course much more modern!!!
-
I would comment on New York but often I am having loading problems with that area.
-
Rotterdam is my favorite. I know the harbours for real, what is a benifit. ;D
Allthough i really like New York as well!
Favourite ship? That's hard. The inland barges are my favourites, because i have 1 for real. ;D
But in the end i like all the ships. They have all theyre own good and bad things. ;)
-
New York With the titanic. Just beutiful enviroment.

Too bad she never got there.
Gustav, what ship is that in your Avatar?
-
It is whilhelm gustloff. She was a german cruiseliner during the war. In late 1944 she was going to evacuate the germans living in poland that was fleing from the advancing red army. She took as many people onboard as she possibly could. She departed from gothenhafen in a convoy but she was seperated from the convoy by several mechanical diffuculties. Her navigations lights was off because the captain was afraid of russian submarines. Then she got a radio message that she was near german mineswepers and she should roundable with them. The captain then lit the navigation lights, that was the last nail in her coffin. A russian submarine saw the ship and fired 4 torpedoes on the ship 3 found it target. The first torpedo hit the crew compartment. Most of the crew was killed. Without the crew it was impossible to make a proper evacuation of the ship. 10.000 men women and children died that night. 1000 was rescued by the minesweepers.
The reason the Gustloff took 11.000 passengers was the red army. The red army was very inhiman to the german population. Men was often shot without any questions asked. Women and children was raped then killed. The gusloff crew wanted as many as possible to be evacuated. It is a tragic story. It is the biggest naval dissaster counted in human lives lost.

Yer, I watched a documentery about that on National Geographic, I was a really bad disaster.
I have never seen anything like it in my life. :(
-
Sadly I have not heard of her. I know the story of the SS Bremen & Europa . . . I will have to look her up. Thanks! :D
-
Greetings,
I've seen this documentary,it was on NGC,and it was the group of the sea-hunters,that went looking for that ship,and found.

Thats the one I saw! ;)

Greetings,
About the area's on the 2006 version.Think about New-York.My idea is to extend that area al the way to the Ambrose lightvessel.One friend of me,who sailed the whole world,told me,before you reach New-York,from the east,you've got to passed this lightvessel.So if this area would be extended,the area gets bigger to sail in,and you could do the complete arrival to New-York.
Does this make sence.
Regards
Marc

Ohwyeah, that makes sence, mate! :o
That would be lovely. Like i said in an other thread, it would be great, if all the existing harbours would be extended to they're full sizes. Not only to have a bigger area to sail in, but to handle bigger ships as well, like the Berge Stahl and the big Oil-tanker from SS08!

I really support that idea - almost more so than adding a lot of new harbors - we should definately expand those we have.
