Thank you again Tore!

I am looking for someone who would like to do a review like Nathan did of their favourite ship / boat in SS. Preferably someone who knows the ship well and has good knowledge on manouevering etc.

If anyone is interested please send me a personal message (http://www.shipsim.com/ShipSimForum/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=8672). Thanks!

Hi ShipAddict,

What a great initiative.
I have also uploaded the magazine to the vstep webservers and added the link to your topic. It should provide for a very fast download. (Filefront is usually very slow for Europeans)
Contact me by PM for the next issue and I'll upload it as well.

The topic now also sticky, so it should get sufficient attention throughout the month.

Keep up the good work!
Mark

Fantastic magazine there Shipaddict! I will happily download and read every month.

WOW Mike...You hit the Jackpot

Getting it on the Vstep Servers

Getting a sticky

Congrats

TNeves · « **Reply #32 on:** September 02, 2009, 15:54:53 »

Excellent idea!

It's a bit short, but is the first issue and it will improve for sure

What program did you used? There is a very good open source program called Scribus and it is multi platform.

I used Serif PagePlus X3 and exported as .pdf from within that.

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 (http://forum.shipsim.com/Uploads/Ship Sim Magazine Issue 1.pdf)!
2. Download it from FILEFRONT (http://www.filefront.com/14436971/Ship-Sim-Magazine-Issue-1.pdf/)!

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

WOW THIS IS SWEEEEEEEEEEET:)

Hi All,

I had an idea sent to me today for a mission section.

I hope to include stuff like:

Small reviews on a few missions (custom or ones that come with the game)
Mission of the month
Possibly a little area to announce new missions

What would people think of this? And would anyone be prepared to do reviews of missions and also willing to announce there own aswell as enter it for a competition?

Thanks,
Mike

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #39 on:** September 03, 2009, 20:16:14 »

Sounds like a good idea

Aad The Pirate · « **Reply #40 on:** September 03, 2009, 22:43:24 »

Ahoy Shipaddict,
WHHHOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, what a splendid idea.
I wonder why VSTEP didn't publish it.
Nevertheless, I downloaded it and printed it on glossy paper and it looks GREAT and quite professional. I'm planning to collect all of the magazines to come.
Kind Regards
Aad

Shipaddict · « **Reply #41 on:** September 03, 2009, 22:51:34 »

Hi Aad

Thanks very much!!

Great to hear it looks good printed, and thanks for collecting the future issues aswell!

RMS Gigantic · « **Reply #42 on:** September 03, 2009, 23:54:23 »

Love the magazine!

Minime · « **Reply #43 on:** September 04, 2009, 00:22:56 »

very nice Mike, I love it.

Shipaddict · « **Reply #44 on:** September 04, 2009, 09:22:41 »

Thanks guys

Shipaddict · « **Reply #45 on:** September 04, 2009, 18:39:51 »

Hi All,

Just to make sure that it doesn't get lost I'm going to re post what I did above

I'm looking for mission makers or mission fans who would like to do a small two paragraph review of some missions every month for the magazine, and who would also like to perhaps enter their mission for a competition.

If you fancy doing this please either say here or send me a message

Thanks

Season · « **Reply #46 on:** September 04, 2009, 18:48:05 »

Wow, nice! That's a great idea! Well done

Good luck with this!

TJK · « **Reply #47 on:** September 04, 2009, 18:50:10 »

Shipaddict · « **Reply #48 on:** September 04, 2009, 20:09:48 »

Thanks Season

And thanks Tore!

Shipaddict · « **Reply #49 on:** September 05, 2009, 18:09:12 »

Hi All (again lol)

I have just found out that for various reasons the person who was originally going to do a review of one of the ships in SS can not do this now.

If you would like to write a review of your favourite ship for the magazine please send me a message!

Thanks
