Which is more appealing to you in Ship Simulator, the technical simulator aspects (such as docking, tugging, crane operations, etc.) or the fast, speedy arcade style of playing (such as races, ramping, and such): Technical aspect. I am too old to go fast anymore.

Any additional comments or suggestions welcome here: The main reason I rated as a four is because I would like to see better night shading on the vessels with operational lights. The vessels seem a little too bright at night and it would be nice to have inside lighting in the wheelhouses as well as outside deck lights. Environmental lighting as is, I can live with since I usually play in the open-sea environments but everthing else is excellent in my opinion, of course.
