Hi everybody,
I just wanted to post a comment on the ranking based on the celerity to complete a mission. Personally I don't give any importance to that ranks but on the way the mission is done. Sure you can complete missions fast even with big ships but if you use engines and thrusters at theirs limits constantly for that, i don't see any interest in that. I prefere trying to manoeuvre using normal time and speed, even if it must take 1 hour to get berth. I definitly don't want to make it in 20 min (for instance), using engines at 100% ahead and astern and thrusters at full power...
So just to say, if it was possible, a system of ranking based on the respect of the engine limits and procedures could be added to the game and be chosen by players like me in the place of the time ranking.
(could do the same remark for the towing missions, what equipment (cable and bollards) could stand a towing at full thrust and speed? And if you keep a speed of 3 or 4 knots as it is in real, you can't expect to win the 1st rank.)
