Thank you. So you know the book is still under development. But the novel is two fold - a book about the vessel itself and it includes a fictional story, tracing the lives of the crew before and during the crisis.

If they would model Brittanic(gigantic) it would not suprise me that another member of our forum where asking if not to model old reliable.
We should have an even variety of ships instead of focusing on one company. Thus the game would be a white star game and I do not belive that was intended for VSTEP.

AriesDW · « **Reply #28 on:** May 27, 2007, 00:11:11 »

I do not tgink people are intentilly being company specific. They just like these ships. If we build all three of the Olympic class, great. If not, oh well. I like all three ships, I love them, however, I do not think we NEED to build another Olympic class rather than the ship of another class - where we can add more variety to the game

Gustav · « **Reply #29 on:** May 27, 2007, 00:17:27 »

I love them too but 2 of the same class is like juhup what difference

I would like to see more steamers of other clases. Then we can make a brittanic or olympic. In fact I like the olympic most. You made my point more accurate and i thanks you for that

AriesDW · « **Reply #30 on:** May 27, 2007, 00:30:45 »

Being that we are in agreement - that is one reason you may see me so often press for the RMS Mauritania and SS Normandie. I like them so much and think they would add a lot of diversity to the game. I mean, simply look at them and compare them to the Olympic class. HUGE variety.

Gustav · « **Reply #31 on:** May 27, 2007, 00:39:30 »

The SS Normandie is just a beutiful ship. Her front bridge section especially. Well i've had a new idea. Would it not be great to have flags on the ships. Like ón titanic you'll fly union jack.

I love the interior layout of the bridge, as well.

hey

I have also a question: wich steamship are in the new shipsim 08?
and you said that you already could horn the claxon in shipsim 06 but wich
button do I have to use than?

AriesDW · « **Reply #34 on:** May 28, 2007, 00:03:56 »

"H" commands the fog horn.

No new steamers are known to be added to SS2008 that we know of, yet.

CG Rocker · « **Reply #35 on:** May 31, 2007, 00:00:40 »

After SS08 is released there should be an addon like "Classic Steamers" or something of the such that had the Mauritania, the Normandie, the Empress of Ireland and maybe even the Carpathia.

rvm3192 · « **Reply #36 on:** May 31, 2007, 02:02:37 »

I think people won't like the Britanic, but the Normandie is a good boat. Andrea Doria would also be a good boat. She would also be set (if they do make her) for walk-arounds with her layout.

I agree. I am more in favor of Normandie than the 'Doria.

Yeah but it is a project that will require A LOT of proper programming, development, optimization, etc. Funds would be needed for something of this magnitude.

yes that is true, but on the flip side I think people would know an Ocean Liner over a cargo ship or somthing else almost every time. Its just their area of profit in the industry, people know ocean Liners and Cruise ships more because these ships transport people, not shoes and cars etc. I think the idea is worth it. And I always wanted to roam the decks of the Normandie, Andrea Doria, and the Majestic. It would be cool

Yes, if I would be able to acquire the funds and the people, I myself would move into negotiations with VStep to produce a product such as this. However, I have a lot of my capital tied in projects regarding my business. Of course we could aid VStep in some manner or another, thereby eliminating some costs and making it easier for them to launch. However, that is a lot to be figured out, but I do agree, I think it would be a very profitable and popular add on item.

Is it true that maybe the Qm2 is also in the new ss 08?

Hopfully they can add the QM2 in an expansion for SS08 in the future

Is it not the Red Ensign?
Regards
Luc
Edit : Hmmm no: Blue Ensign

No Luke, right first time.

NOW:
Red ensign - commercial/private vessels
Blue ensign - Royal Navy Fleet Auxilliary
White ensign - Royal Navy

This is a good website for the history:
http://www.sea-dreamer.com/page.asp?pagename=ensign

THE PAST:
The flags were all Royal Navy (until 1860's) to denote squadron colour.
I think it was
Red - Pacific Australia also any ships not assigned.
White - Home fleet and Atlantic
Blue - Mediterranean.

If you look at films such as 'bounty' and 'master and commander' you will see they are wrong.

They show the red ensign but in bounty- it was more a navy freighter and would have been a lower squadron (blue?) and again in master and commander he wasn't a post captain but a luitenant commander and so would again have been in blue or white squadron.

I LOVE lookng for technical inaccuracies in films with multi million pound budgets and so many experts that can't even tie their shoe laces. God I must get out more.
