Which is the ship you hate most??
« on: March 23, 2010, 21:19:51 »

Personally, I would choose Latitude. Due to its massive size, it takes about 1 minute to reach the 1 Kn, and then it takes more than 5  min to completely stop

Unlike "Wats yuore favred ship/bot?", I like this topic.  :thumbs:

My target for addressing the hate would be the ship of boredom & the ship that's always not 100% accurate unlike other ships in SS - Titanic

This is a strange, yet some how interesting topic....             ;D

         Jetski, it is way too hard to control, for it's size. fun to crush, though! :evil:

The powerboat and the jetski, there are already loads of games where you can drive fast things in an unrealistic manner, the attraction of shipsim for me is the bigger ships, although I agree with the Titanic stuff, the Titanics handling in Shipsim is interesting.

dindt you know that?
VLCC's and ULCC's are so big and heavy that they even take 5 miles to stop from 16.5 knots.
and almost 2 miles just to turn :o.
hope you understand.

Perhaps a better title for this topic might be “Ships I find too challenging to handle”.

I can understand why one might find a particular ship, or an entire type of vessel, uninteresting. In that case, one would not bother with them; SS provides a wide diversity of types. Hating a ship, however, implies that one has spent enough time trying to operate it to have become frustrated in the attempt.

Titanic suffers from having a fan club that others often find tiresome. She is, however, one of the better ships for learning the basics and the details of careful ship handling. Many users tend to go through missions like the ball in a pinball game.

It is true that jetski and powerboat are often operated in a reckless and unrealistic manner, but that can be said of most other ships in the fleet. One problem with the powerboat lies with the creators of arcade missions involving ramps. Most have the waypoints left at the default diameter so that it is not necessary to actually go over the ramps. A better diameter would be 3 meters or less.

As for the slowness of some ships: The clock time that it takes for a ship to get up to speed, and the true speed that it makes depend greatly upon the FPS that your system can support.

We can take the term "hate" loosely..   It means "ships I am having trouble with".. ;)

Seriously: Best you all refrain from name calling.

RPA12 because it keeps turning an hour after you set the rudder straight and harbour tug because it just is.

Hi Salty,
It may start out cool, but someone who does not understand the limits will escalate it to the point where someone is hurt.
We have seen many recent examples of that.

Unfortunately, when that bridge, or line, is crossed it is often not possible to single out the one person to be sanctioned.

I would have to say the Jet Ski, it's very fast and hard to turn at such high speeds.
