Any ideas about simulating the conditions under a ship might be lost without trace?

Breaking in half due to being suspened over the trough of two huge waves. Dropping below the surface when a bubble of volcanic gas erupted beneathe the ship... .

With a view to improving things to reduce the risk. BrianG

Sound like you are talking about the for bitten triangle

Sounds like you are talking about the Bermuda Triangle!

      Oh no run for your lives      , this is patrol 492 were getting sucked in by something underneath us! Sorry for going a bit of the subject here, anyway back to the subject.

I was not taliking about the Bermuda triangle as such but it may have got its reputation partly based on such incidents. There are volcanos beneath the sea. Many start that way and grow till they reach the surface. They will generate huge bubbles of gas occasionally that could well be the size of the Albert Hall. When such a bubble surfaces beneath a ship it will drop the height of the Albert Hall. Not a lot of time to send out a distress signal.

Assuming you witnessed such an event without concrete evidence to support your observation you would  be laughed at. In these days of digital cameras and mobile phone cameras maybe the evidence will enable people to risk ridicule. Also after a disappearance satellite photogaphs can now  be examined.

Then again it might never happen or ever have happened. BrianG

Same if something suddenly happens to you in a gale storm in Lake Superior

Edmund Fitzgerald, anyone?

All that sort of thing would take a lot of programming for vstep, but it would make the game more interesting.

[Ship Sim]

That would make the game a death wish. huge waves, ocean gas bubbles, crazy AI, ect ect ect.
