1. Night Missions.
- scenery changes with current adjusted time.
2. Better Navigation Aids
- lights including vessel markings, aids to navigation, general scenery.
3. VHF Marine Radio
- commercial traffic and coast guard correspondence.
4. Less difficult to crash however, crashes should be more severe.
- how many times have you banged up your real boat? I think this is a silly dynamic feature.
5. Location regulations
- UK regulations vs US regulations vs wherever.

A lot of what you ask for is already in SS08.

6) Passenger ships actually have passenger lights at night!

7) Ships actually sink, as described in the features!

No.. why? :S Will they be unsinkable =/

if the sinking comes in there should be an abandon boat option. After pressing the button you appear outside the boat in inflatable life raft thing and then you can whatch the boat sinking from the view of inside the life raft!!

Well yes, at least I thougt. There's a thread where I believe it was Mark said that they already noticed that the ships didn't sink with holes below the waterline. And that they were working on a patch for this. Or did I read this wrong maybe??

No they're not going to be unsinkable, they are unsinkable. The patch is going to make them sinkable, as they were originally supposed to.

Yeah. You read it wrong. He said the ships actually sink. You said wait till the next patch and you can scratch that off the list. So that means you're saying that they will be unsinkable. But they will not. So yes, you read it wrong

No he was right to say what he did, Orinoco said he wished for ships to be able to sink, as they were supposed to according to the features list. Maik said that when the patch was released he would be able to 'scratch that off his list'. This phrase means 'it's done'.

Season · « **Reply #11 on:** July 10, 2007, 20:38:05 »

I'm very confused now, so, okay, whatever, forget it

Yep, got the nail on the head my friend.

Nope, my post was semi-sarcastic. Hence why it was under 'feature suggestions'.

YOu cant!! MUAHAHAHAHA!!! lol jk. they probably have a way. i made a topic about that already: http://www.shipsim.com/ShipSimForum/index.php/topic,576.0.html

Well i don't think it will actually be that much of a problem. Most of the people who buy Ship Sim will have done so because they want to drive ships around properly. When you play an online shooting game, most people play according to the rules and act as they are supposed to. Very rarely do you get someone who tries to spoil the game by team killing. I think it will be even more unlikely in this game.

Indeed, I couldn't agree more

I think spoilers has been discussed before... Normally there is a lead player on the server for each game and he/she has the fun of booting out trouble makers.

Looks like a job for Morpheus.

-Barges like in 2006
-An Autopilot for long offshore missions
-Locks and moving lifting bridges
-A direction indicator in the controllpanel for any Voith Schneider driven vessel
-Sufficiently strong habour tugs

Hope this won't stress the developers too much
Greetings Ule
