I was working on towing the Orient Star, and decided the way to do it would be to have a tug on each end. That way the front one could pull everything along until it came time to stop and make a pivot turn, at which point I would put the front tug's engines in neutral and set the aft tug into reverse to slow down the big liner. I'd then use the two tugs to pull in opposite directions fore and aft to swing the big ship around on its center axis, and voila, I'd be good.
I think it would have worked but for one problem. When the forward tug began pulling, the liner followed along but the other tug did not. It stayed where it was, with the tow line simply getting longer and longer and longer. Clearly that isn't the correct behavior.
Any hope of this getting fixed in the next patch?
