*Knock knock*... . Anybody home?

I hope everyone is keeping well. I do still look in here every so often. It's such a shame that V-STEP seemingly have no interest in bringing us a new instalment!

Oh hi der!

Hello! Is anyone alive out there?

Not too many, but we are still here.

I check in here and there. Usually just to see what's going on in the ol' cookie box.

danny · « **Reply #25555 on:** April 11, 2017, 18:02:06 »

I only have a quick browse of the forum when I first get back from sea... Sadly, there's not much to stick around for!

Congrats on getting your license

Yeah well, you know what they say eh.. small boat, small problems

In fact, the boat I'm on is 28 meters long but has 65 tonnes bollard pull

Thanks!

Are you on a nice small powerful tug then?

clanky · « **Reply #25562 on:** May 07, 2017, 11:46:54 »

Hey folks, hope you are all well.

I am back at sea again after spending a year driving a desk in Hamburg.

Traddles · « **Reply #25563 on:** May 07, 2017, 12:22:20 »

Hi Clanky,
Nice to know you are still around. We have lost a few folk since you were around last, but there are some of us who still hang on. Old age is getting the best of some of us, including myself, but life goes on just the same.

Angus.

Being in school doesn't help with me

I barely have time. Hopefully this summer I'll be on more

Hey,
recently noticed that a lot of new cruise ships are using these interestingly shaped bows, some of which look fairly basic; what i would expect myself to make in sketchUp as i'm terrible with bows

Anyone know why? Is it more efficient, or is it just a new style

Enjoy this gallery of random google images

Costa/P&O/Carnival Cruises

Norwegian Cruise Lines

Virgin Voyages

MSC Cruises

AIDA Cruises

Celebrity Cruises

Hurtigruten

Any thoughts?

danny · « **Reply #25566 on:** June 04, 2017, 15:01:56 »

The new "knife shaped" bows are more efficient than traditional flared shapes.

Instead of punching their way through the water (which wastes energy, causes slamming, violent movements etc) like a conventional bow, they cut their way through the water (so they don't slam etc). Because of this you use less fuel, don't pitch/heave as much and get to sleep more! Win win!

Having worked on ships with traditional bows and new designs I've got to say - New is WAY better than old... Especially in 10 metre seas!

Man, this forum and game was a big part of my childhood in 08-2012. It's hard to tell people about how awesome the community was and all the fun we had roleplaying and sailing. I would love to start a server or at least be able to play again to begin with since I run Linux Ubuntu now. Any of you guys have luck trying to run the game on something other than windows?

I haven't been on this forum for almost a year.... ðŸ˜³
I've moved to macOS now so your not the only one who can play (plus I need to actually sort out my licence as I've had a hard drive die and I didn't De-reg SSE).

So what is everyone doing now?
Like I'm in Swansea University studying Computer Science and now going into mobile apps. What about everyone else?

Still kicking in 2018?

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #25570 on:** January 06, 2018, 14:24:38 »

Depends on your definition of kicking...

danny · « **Reply #25571 on:** January 06, 2018, 20:21:57 »

I'm not kicking, although I keep stubbing my toes on the door-frame, if that counts?

gibby12 · « **Reply #25572 on:** April 25, 2018, 03:01:51 »

Gee wilikers! 10 years sure went by..... Haha

Thought I'd pop in, reminice, and give a quick hello.

I hope everyone is doing well, sailing through life with best the conditions possible.

Alot of interesting memories in this place. It's wild to think that this was a huge part of my childhood when I was 10-14 years old. Everyone's grown up now!

Agent|Austin · « **Reply #25573 on:** January 14, 2019, 02:13:32 »

Woo 3 posts in here last year. Happy new year everyone.

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #25574 on:** January 18, 2019, 08:04:40 »

Happy New Year to you to...

Maybe we can get four posts here this year!
