Norwegian Epic (Fail) looks really awful.

I really feel sorry for its captain, he must feel embarassed - like a teenager who got embarassed in front of friends when dad showed up outside the school gates driving a Lada car!

MOKIHANA

I'm no expert but I think that "growth" on the stern needs to be removed before she sinks!

And now I would like to present the latest addition to our wonderful fleet the Aeria.

-ps I don't know what this ship does.

I really don't want this to turn into an ugly post contest....

But, we are free to post our opinions about want ever we want.
And I doubt the designers of these ships even read this forum and if they did this would probably not be the first (or last) time there ships are criticized. And furthermore somebody had to share there tastes they purchase the ships. Sorry but, I really value my right to free speech.

The Aeria was a mine sweeper, but she doesn't do anything anymore - she's probably been scrapped.

Informations about the "Aeria" found on http://raoc.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=4678818:

"Solved!

She is called the Aeria

Apparently she is an ex-East German spy ship, taken over by the USSR after the collapse of East Germanyâ€¦â€¦she arrived in Lowestoft from Archangel to see if they could make a floating casino out of her.

The name of the project she was built for : â€œReede-Minenabwehr Boot Project 415â€³

She was build around 1985, apparently by the Peene Shipyard in Wolgast, (former East-) Germany.

Aeria has been towed away, to Lithuania, to the scrapyard."

i wil report the mod about this topic,
seriously! we are al humas with different thoughts for ships. if you cant appreciate that then try making a ship that looks totally different to nower days ships..
so i belive this topic has always been useless and shouldnt be used again!

krytsch · « **Reply #807 on:** December 10, 2010, 17:06:06 »

TFK! (*sigh*)
Then go and report it. Hope it makes you feel better.

Can't anybody give him a cookie, please?

Ralphy · « **Reply #808 on:** December 10, 2010, 21:13:55 »

the thing is, this has been going for 2 years. I don't see anything wrong with this and nobody else does apart from you. now if you don't like it you don't have to read it.

of course people are going to find some ships ugly it's all personal opinion. This is allowed in the forum so the only thing that a mod would do with this topic is possibly move it into forum games.

Now lets get back on with the game

The Ferry King · « **Reply #809 on:** December 10, 2010, 21:47:32 »

that ship looks very nice!
i think you should search better if you want a ugly ship because that one looks alright

krytsch · « **Reply #810 on:** December 10, 2010, 22:11:40 »

Hey Ferry King!

It is all right if you like this ship. And it's all right when you post your own opinion. But you must not try to prevent all others to say what they think.

Don't you think it would be a good idea if you showed us, what you think is ugly?

Lookin' forward to see it. Maybe I agree - maybe not.

Two things have to be said: Ship builders, who design, redesign or reconstruct ships because of new working purposes often simply don't care what the result looks like afterwards - it just must work! See Ralphy's post.
And ship designers, who design yachts like the A-yacht, do probably expect controversial discussions - otherwise they wouldn't do it. As long as there are people who can afford it and buy it they don't care.

They surely don't cry like a bay and try to force us to shut up.

BTW - in my opinion the ship above looks strange - but not ugly. A bit like like e thing from an science fiction theme park (maybe with a 3D space flight cinema in it).

RIP Aeria

Look at this! I actually like that look, it's very interesting to see the "insides"

TFK: I'm pretty shure the moderators have seen this topic and are okay with it.

If this topic offends you then unsubscribe from this thread so that you won't get any further postings.

If I see something I don't like on TV, I just change the channel. It's as simple as that.

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #813 on:** December 11, 2010, 09:23:51 »

Yes I do agree, it's pretty rude to refuse others their right to post their fair and polite opinions. specially when you are not in any position to have a say in the matter.

As long as people are not breaking any rules and being reasonable about why they don't appreciate the looks of a certain ship, and not out to hurt anyone, it's okay. And if they do, it's still not up to you do take action, you may use the report function instead.

So kindly just take it or leave it, TFK. But don't go there again. It's not your place to make such claims or demands and tell people not to post, you're a guest here like everyone else. Report anything you find offensice, if you like, but this topic stays open.

Thanks.

Regards,
Fred

ok i understand what your saying. ok i say you can continue the game. but please dont try to sho that you can make something better as the makers of thses ships must have putten allot of effort into it

And the fact that most people only think *Norwegian Epic is the uglies one but more people in the world actually like this ship and they dont find the two upper decks ugly because those type of people like a freestyle cruise and not just judging on the outside so.

Continue with this game but please dont always use the same ship again and again but show ships that really look ugly

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #815 on:** December 12, 2010, 01:17:22 »

Again... you don't really get to make that call wether or not they can continue.... So it's nice that you approve, but you had no choice in the matter, to be honest.

Respect everyone's opinion as you would have them respect yours.

not too bad personally - I like the style

krytsch · « **Reply #818 on:** December 12, 2010, 21:43:54 »

I don't find it particularly ugly too - a modern RO-RO ship, isn't it?
