Cpt.Darling you are quite right, let's wait until the final game is out and available. I think we will have various suprises, good or bad. All these speculations are for nothing and leading only into confusion and fruitless hopes.
I am almost fed up with all these desires of ships and enviroments. Each and everbody desires his hometown or port close by or his favorite ship having seen. My opinion is, the most important thing, that VSTEP may create a SS2010 or extremmes as it maybe called, with sufficient variaty of ships and enviroments to create interesting and enjoyabel missions to play. This is what a game makes alive.
We have now 5 enviroments in Europe + the offport parts of these inenviroments, 2 in America (only USA) and one in Thailand (Phi Phi). They should concentrate on enviroments at other continents, i.e South America, Rio de Janeiro, Africa (Capetown or Lagos), Asia (Tokio or Kobe Bay or Shanghai). I understand, that there will be Sidney in the next SS, very good. Also one of the important canals should be added, i.e. Panama or Suez or Kiel Kanal.
Regarding ships, all are talking abt more ferries and/or cruisers (historical or modern), but nobody is talking abt handysized freighters, auxiliary ships, i.e bunker barges, floating cranes, etc,etc.
With these ships you can create the most interesting missions, not with the 5th or sixth ferry/cruiser.
