Hello! I'm the one - a little while back - who advocated Liverpool and all the plentiful environs of the river Mersey, with it's approaches from the Irish sea, its amenities for all kinds of vessels, ferries across the river - and further afield across the Irish sea to the Isle of Mann and Ireland, Cruise ships, cargo vessels, tankers, fishing boats, tugs and barges, pilot and rescue vessels as well as pleasure craft. There could be many extensions to all the docks there on both sides of the river - not to mention the Manchester ship canal with it's oil refinery terminals etc.
Of course, I'm biased, LOL, having been brought up here and lived here all my life! However, having just spent nearly two hours wading through all 23 pages of suggestions so far, I realise that all have their own merits. Of course, I WOULD like to see more environments - and vessels - on offer, as we all do. One can grow stale and bored with the same things all the time, most particularly with the environments with their limited number of starting points. What I would REALLY recommend to VStep is to incorporate into all future - and existing environs the CHOICE of having CONTINUALLY VARYING weather conditions - both on free sailing and on missions. This, I think (certainly for me) would greatly extend a more lasting enthusiasm for their ship simulation. It would be much more of a challenge, and of much more interest if one could start a sailing with conditions that are given at random - and with conditions that change, gradually, at random! This would include SAVED missions!
