Hello all!
Soon it's gonna be 20 years since M/S Estonia sank in bad weather in the Baltic sea in 1994. Any chance of Estonia DLC? That would be something...

I apologize it was not meant to be So many members think a D.L.C can be

work +money involved.

If Vstep released a ADK (addon development kit) they wouldn't need to make DLC's. After all, they have already made the tools...

In relation to the "Estonia" DLC request, I hope there won't be one. I know this sounds harsh, but an awful lot of people lost there lives when the Estonia went down, and I feel it wouldn't be morally correct to release a DLC to commemorate a ship that took so many people to their grave.

There are many other large ferries that look identical (not exactly- just in terms of size) to Estonia, but are from a different company.

As we just had a DLC on ferries, i dont think vstep will be looking forward to realeasing any more this year. (not for ferries, but maybe something else)

Although ferries do seem to be quite popular around the shipsim community and it would be great if we could have some other ferries, particulary one that can suit the Dover-Calais enviroment

Couldn't agree more with both of those points, considering how many youtube videos there are of "hurr durr, look how I made ship x sink", I would hate to see anything similar with a ship where so many lost their lives.

I realise that the OP's request was more in line with the idea that it would be a fitting tribute, but I think it would be inappropriate.

Whilst I agree with Danny and Clanky totally on the subject of morbid fascination with ships that became coffins, I am reminded of a certain ship in this "simulator" series by the name of tita..zzz...n...i...c which even had a "can you dodge the iceberg (lettuce?)" mission. So good taste is an afterthought.

PS on the vs forum there IS a sort-of Estonia if anyone really wants it. I believe there's even a version of it lying on its side under 5,000 tonnes of concrete and a Navy submarine standing guard to keep away "sightseers"

Just throwin' the ball around here but maybe the Ship Sim Team should launch a Kickstarter project so we (the community) can personally fund some DLC. It allows for personal opinion in DLC to be voiced directly. With Kickstarter you can award "prizes" to people who donate certain designated amounts of money set by the developers and lets say if you pay 20 Euro or over, you get the DLC for free when it comes out. The best part is, if the project isn't successful, everyone gets their donations back, so really, its the community that decides the DLC. Also, VSTEP wouldn't have to worry about the money situation because they would get it right then. Major video game developers use it all the time to fund DLC and sometimes even games, so its legitimate. Bottom line is: Everybody wins. Phewww, that was a lot. Anyone else agree??
