Another idea, Maybe in the future we could have the Britannic. Modeling her should not be hard, just reskin the titanic. Any thoughts? KM

Shipaddict · « **Reply #1 on:** May 12, 2007, 13:48:37 »

The Britannic was bought up in the old forum. Someone from the NVDG i think wanted to have the titanic model, make a few adjustments and reskin it but VSTEP didn't let them use the Titanic model.

But i really like the idea

Master Captain · « **Reply #2 on:** May 12, 2007, 14:06:53 »

what for cind of ship do you want to have in the new shipsim?
and would it be a problem if the britannic cames in the new shipsim or do
you dont care about that?

Hello,
There is probably no difficulty incorporating the nice Britannic in the simulation.
There just remains to model her, independently of the Titanic as it is in fact copyrighted, and to ask to VStep to publish it, similarly to the ships of the NVDG or even with their help.
Needless to say that there is some design work to be done, a true challenge for a modeler.
Good luck to your proposal,
Luc

Take a look there are a lot of differrences at the modell, especially at the back and the Boat Deck. so you not only can repaint it, you have to remodell it (or update).....

But why not.

I agree, but if we are going to make a liner of this type might I suggest we also think about the Mauretania or Aquitania? Maauret held the blue riband for many years and aquitania was a merchant ship, troop ship, hospital ship AND cruiser-britanic lasted two years then hit a mine and sunk. However, i would also very much like to see her in the game-on the grounds that she was attractive and had a smaller wheel making cornering faster, which, to be honest, would be a welcome change from the Titanic!

KDS · « **Reply #14 on:** May 14, 2007, 15:03:34 »

I wouldn't mind having it either.

maritiem · « **Reply #15 on:** May 14, 2007, 15:18:50 »

AriesDW · « **Reply #16 on:** May 18, 2007, 00:12:38 »

I was one of the few that brought thips topic up a long time ago.

At the time we cannot do the Britannic based on the existing Titanic model - it is copywritten.

Also, I would prefer to see a new model - done right. This would include her increased length, her different exterior features, etc.

If she were added I would like both her Hospital Ship and White Star Livery.

However, the point is, as mentioned, if we did a model of this type and complexity we might as well do a different ship to therefore reduce redundancy in the came and add a bit more variety.

I am more for Mauritania than Britannic - however, both work.

Master Captain · « **Reply #17 on:** May 18, 2007, 02:37:09 »

ok, AriesDW i could go for the Mauretania. Here is a link for just about everything on her. http://classicliners.nicholaswwilson.com/ships/mauretania.htm (http://classicliners.nicholaswwilson.com/ships/mauretania.htm)

CG Rocker · « **Reply #18 on:** May 18, 2007, 03:43:05 »

Yeah I think the Mauretania would be a great addition to the game!

AriesDW · « **Reply #19 on:** May 18, 2007, 07:47:02 »

I have more info on her than that page. I am a HUGE fan of the Mauritania. She is beautiful as she was fast. With her vibrant colors and complex, compressed appearance I think she would be a good contrast yet not too contrasting to Titanic. We would get the Cunard vs White Star fans going!

maritiem · « **Reply #20 on:** May 18, 2007, 12:18:08 »

And I am still for the britannic.
She not even looks like the titanic.
And she had much more lifeboats than the titanic etc...
other colors,funnels,red crosses etc...(and she had special davits)
Its a pitty that you prefer more for the mauretania than the britannic.
If I had to chooche wich ship I would like in place for the britannic than should I
take the lusitania ore the queen mary the sister ship of the qm2!

maritiem · « **Reply #21 on:** May 18, 2007, 12:49:01 »

here are some pictures about the fantastic model ship the britannic.
and the titanic so you can see that there are big differents between those ships.

(I know I cant stop saying that there are big differents between them)

Ship Sim · « **Reply #22 on:** May 18, 2007, 17:22:23 »

I think it would be nice to have all of the sister ships in the game.

maritiem · « **Reply #23 on:** May 18, 2007, 17:32:12 »

exactly that is what I mean all the 3 sister-ships
Like one happy family

AriesDW · « **Reply #24 on:** May 18, 2007, 22:44:55 »

MARITIEM - You need to calm down a bit. Using the word pity here is a bit harsh. Regardless of how much you want to defend and proclaim Britannic's greatness, it does not change the fact she looks very similar to her famous sister.

To be honest, my friend, I am sure I know more about Britannic than you do. I have held a lecture on the vessel and I am currently writing a book about her.

She is a fine ship and I appreciate your enthusiasm, but you need to respect peoples opinions to like something else, not put them down. If it happens again, I will report you. And it is possible, I am a moderator.
