We can all think of and name many ships, as we all have favourites, but why do we need so many Ships, lets just keep what we have and include smaller and medium sized version, with the updated Wheelhouses with the necessary instrumentation and Light Facilities. If we stuck to this Idea the improvements of ship sim could become more frequent and more reliable, but not forgetting realism. Of course the additon of one or two different types of Ship would be a bonus. But Warships NO NO NO

A Coast Guard Cutter from any nation would be awesome, to do search and rescue missions. I am in the US Coast Guard, but I have to say the Canadian Coast Guard and British Coast Guard's are pretty amazing as well!

Did you not notice that was posted more then a year ago. SS08 wasn't even out.

Again, I would love to see any of the worlds coast guards in an expansion or new edition of shipsim. I think that would cure alot of people want to have warships in the game. Just with the US Coast Guard you have missions running from interdiction of smugglers and alien migration to aids to navigation repair and placement and fisheries. This isn't even counting the biggest and most exciting of the Coast Guard missions, search and rescue. I would love to see some of the new USCG Cutters included or the patrol boat fleet of 110' cutters and 87' cutters.

Simaddict · « **Reply #780 on:** June 24, 2008, 16:52:21 »

Having had a good look at the American Coastguard vessels in close up, I can only submit that they depict the perfect Warship in disguise, and there inclusion would lead to the inevitable slippery slope.

PORed · « **Reply #781 on:** June 24, 2008, 18:27:17 »

You might be right, but honestly I can't tell you the last time we actually fired the main gun in something other then a training eviroment. If that is the case no warships, limit it to small boats and patrol cutters, or other coast guards, such as the Canadian Coast Guard or HM Coastguard, which are not a military force. I would love to see more SAR mission in the game.

I would like to have a twin unit voith schneider tractor tug. Highly maneuverable and very powerful, would be good fun!

OCL container ships, as i used to work (?) on them.

Also warships with big guns to blast everyone away - separate server for this one of course

no! no! no! how many times do we have to say it there will NEVER be guns on this SIMULATOR as the it turn into a war game not a shipping SIMULATOR

PORed · « **Reply #785 on:** June 25, 2008, 18:13:35 »

I agree there are enough wargames out there already, that is the beauty of this game is it shows the everyday merchant mariner life. I would hate to see any weapons added to the game and there is more to being a sailor then combat and this game really shows that. The only reason I would want to see any coast guard or patrol type craft is to see more of the SAR type missions not for combat

pauljanaway1 · « **Reply #786 on:** June 25, 2008, 18:15:26 »

i can understand people wanting ship like battle ship or aircraft carriers but even if they did come ingame they would never have wepons

I find this constant plead for "Big Blasty Things" is getting a bit annoying.

Hiya all

I'd like to point something out here. We all have different opinions, that's what makes us individual. Every member on the forum is entitled to their opinion, and being criticised for having an opinion is not something any of us would like, agreed?

Perhaps a more relaxed attitude to others opinions would be more appropriate

Regards.

Carl.

I'm not a fan of these games but I can tell you that I've heard good reviews of "Silent Hunter 3"

Merlijn · « **Reply #793 on:** June 30, 2008, 09:49:56 »

Ey guys,

What about adding a heavy lift vessel? Once of those nice big ones from Dockwise? I did a survey on one of them last month and they are absolutely fabulous!
Would love to see them in the simulator and be able to 'sink' them while pulling an oil platform over them with two tugs... Yeah !!

Oops. I got carried away... but still. a heavy lift would be nice...

brgds,

llamalord · « **Reply #794 on:** June 30, 2008, 14:05:57 »

Do you mean like the "Fairmount Fjell'?
Last thing I knew that ship was already being developed by V-STEP for the game. $:-\$

Merlijn · « **Reply #795 on:** July 01, 2008, 11:00:59 »

Ey...

I don't know the Fairmount Fjell... What I can see on equasis is that it is a pontoon and I don't find it back on the Fairmount website... So I guess that is not what I mean... But I found on the Fairmount website a pic of the GAVEA LIFTER. I have put the pic here below (reference made that I took it from the Fairmount website, dont wanna get into problem with copyrights...).

Those heavy lifter semi submersible ships I mean... Would love to see those...

llamalord · « **Reply #796 on:** July 01, 2008, 13:57:44 »

That's what the Fairmount Fjell is.

Merlijn · « **Reply #797 on:** July 02, 2008, 03:38:11 »

Ah. really eh. hehe.

Good then. Would love to see those ships in the sim...

BTW. Why Fairmount, why not choose Dockwise? hehehehe...
