Hi All

A few weeks ago I decided to produce a little magazine for ShipSim. I first got the general idea from the VS forum, however I've tried to expand on that idea and include more in it. This issue doesn't have a huge amount in however I have big plans to expand if you guys like it.

I'd like to say a huge thank you to NathanC who provided all the pics except for the cover picture and for his wonderful article on PoR.

Please download and please give feedback on it, what you think and if you have any ideas. It really would be much appreciated!

If anyone is interested in writing a column about there experiences on multiplayer or write a review of there favourite ship please drop me a PM. Also send me a message if you have any ideas for stuff to include in the magazine!

Edit by Mark/Frank:
1. Download it from the VSTEP webservers!
2. Download it from FILEFRONT!

So once again your honest opinion on where it could be improved etc would be much appreciated and thanks to Nathan again!

Oh and I plan to release an issue monthly.

Enjoy reading!

Mike / SA

Just seen it. Great design & idea of that Magazine too!

Nice images & congrats to POTM winner Nathan.

I wish there could be more infos, something like MP events, etc.

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #4 on:** August 31, 2009, 17:28:42 »

WOW great job guys

actually

Nice design...like wave said why dont you add info on MP events and such but great for a first edition

Shipaddict · « **Reply #5 on:** August 31, 2009, 17:58:24 »

Thank you guys much appreciated!

Thanks for the idea Wave and Matt, I'll be sure to include that in future.

I've already got some new stuff on top of that to add to the next edition so all is good

Very nice magazine indeed!

I really hope to read some more issues, only a bit longer

Shipaddict · « **Reply #8 on:** August 31, 2009, 18:39:32 »

Thank you

Yep the next issue should be hopefully a good 2 pages longer at least

good Magazine

Shipaddict · « **Reply #10 on:** August 31, 2009, 21:25:47 »

Thanks TFM

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #11 on:** August 31, 2009, 21:28:30 »

Oh I have an Idea
How about you put an information board about each ship every issue so next could have RJ4

Shipaddict · « **Reply #12 on:** August 31, 2009, 21:30:09 »

Hi Matt

I include factfiles about the ships in each review that someone does of them.

Wave Music · « **Reply #13 on:** August 31, 2009, 21:31:48 »

Also to put some news from the Development Corner won't hurt, I think.

Shipaddict · « **Reply #14 on:** August 31, 2009, 21:33:16 »

Ok thanks Wave I'll remember that.

Just downlooaded it. Marvelous! Maybe a video could be nice about the magazine but on Youtube

a Server that gets busy, the Framvik was a bit dead when I get on but Tore's second Marseille is busy some of the time. It would help promote it.

Master Captain · « **Reply #16 on:** September 01, 2009, 03:27:37 »

Ah nice work SA, its looking quite good, maybe i'll be able to scare up some material for the next issue for you

saltydog · « **Reply #17 on:** September 01, 2009, 08:58:52 »

Looks very nice SA..

Also, I found your explanation of sideways docking very usefull..
Looking forward to further editions..

Thank you Matt

I'll see about the video, perhaps after a few issues I'll make one.

I'm trying to keep out of servers really but maybe one day eventhough I can't say it's overly likely.
