I voted NO.

Why?

Biceaus I am not a freak that is going to look for a verry long time at a computerscreen at a ship wich is just following a course.
I like to enter and leave the port.
But I don't like to just sit and do nothing, biceaus that is boring.

Obviously you've never crossed the channel on a ferry then

Crossing from Dover to Calais is not what you think it is - you don't sit in a straight line for 1.5hrs. English channel happens to be very busy and that means ferries have to be constantly slowing down for traffic and avoiding the busy shipping lanes...?

Membership is free.

All that the campaign committee (me!) asks is if you would consider a brief 98 paragraph statement in your signature, like TFM and others, to show your support.

And if you'd like to volunteer to go and kidnap Pjotr...

NB JOKE: I do not condone kidnapping Pjotr and ransoming him back for the inclusion of Dover-Calais in the same environment. We also don't want any form of aggressive or terrorist activity to support the campaign- otherwise the British Home Secretary will support it too. We will achieve Dover-Calais in the same environment. ONLY by peaceful means.

Someone get Concorde back, we have some flying to do, lets hope vstep randomly build a very long run way nearby

Gentlemen,

I realise a certain amount of high spirits would ensue in our campaign for Dover-Calais in the same environment but any talk about tying vstep management to trees is bordering on the insane. And any such member committing such offences will be thrown out the campaign...

To do it PROPERLY you need a fast car, rope, axe and RAILWAY lines...

I'd better start packing my packs and phoning a taxi!

You forgot the train?

Stuart2007 · « **Reply #61 on:** August 22, 2009, 18:22:11 »

On a serious point now chaps.

If we want to achieve our aims, we need to put together a sensible group of arguements (I like arguements) that support our case. I mean these as "It will increase sales because..." and not "Do it or we'll tie tou to a railway line and let the Dutch trains do their worst" (we'll keep that plan as a back up!)

Nathan|C · « **Reply #62 on:** August 22, 2009, 18:27:44 »

Well Dover-Calais is one of the most recognised ferry routes in the world? If VSTEP put them in the same environment it may get a lot of attention and increase sales for the game?

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #63 on:** August 22, 2009, 18:29:22 »

Well what about if it was not included in game, but could be purchased in the Shipyard...?

I'd say it would, but also, some good ferries are needed, maybe we should give them a few ideas

Vstep arnt happy with the hull

Stuart2007 · « **Reply #71 on:** August 22, 2009, 22:37:56 »

Why???

Tell them that if they add in Dover-Calais in the same environment then it will make the hull EVEN BETTER

--tractorman-- · « **Reply #72 on:** August 22, 2009, 22:41:03 »

Hi Oliver,

A lot of tris are flipped so its hard to get an overall impression. The shape looks like it could be pretty good but the front of the hull needs to be a lot cleaner in terms of its triangulation - better to use quads if possible.

Get the sack, rope, train tracks and a train

Use an axe. It's quicker.
