    Sailing 2.0

    Taking a look at Surprise simulator, it completely lacks the game, enjoyment, passion factor - or it can not convey it. But it is a much more useful, much more educative tool for this geeky fool. I shall sink a few ships in that, see how i do.

    Sailing 2.0

    I see that... Virtual sailor.. is an attempt at complexity. But complex... it isnt. took a look at vehiecle simulator. what wasnt there in VS, is further washed out with vehiecle simulator. proof of concept, okay. hardcore simulation... nope.

    Need Help What P.I.R.A.T.E.S. stats should I start with?

    Then i moved the skills up again. PIRATES, ship and personal skills. the result , of ONLY upping the abilities, is that i get a lot of personal and sjhip abilities. (18)(22) the bell went "du-ding" all the time... rank went up, personal skills went down from (1231) to (nil) I ran out of ponts...

    Need Help What P.I.R.A.T.E.S. stats should I start with?

    Nope... the PIRATES skills, once you define them, are solid - they stay the same throughout your life. They define who you are. so, concerning the number of officers... how many do you NEED? navi, Bosun,Gunner carpenter,Doc,moneyman,3 Fighters=9 for your own ship + 4 for the other ships =13...

    Need Help What P.I.R.A.T.E.S. stats should I start with?

    as i said before... PIRATES stats are what you care about. There is NO right. The Game proposes a few basic Character styles. The carpenter, the Pirate, the Naval officer, and whatnot. because you can not "ten out" everything. you want to be a bad nasty man, slaughtering enemies? go for a...

    Released Frigate "Rossiya", 1728

    See, this is a classic example of the "alphachannel for prez" proposition i made elsewhere. Think about that curtain. How many triangles is it now...? It could be two triangles... and the texture applied to the triangles has an aphla (opla oop :P ) channel outlined in Red. as i have learned...

    Released Frigate "Rossiya", 1728

    whats funny is... the curtains are not there any more, i can see right through the (yukky) dirty windows. do some parts of the cabin dissapear from the outside? Or is the "outside camera" ship not exactly the same as the "onboard camera" one? The details around and below the windows are nice...

    Solved Commanding multiple ships.

    ? read the manual... you can order them what to use for ammo. 5=ball 6=shrapnel 7=chain 8=bomb 9=chose at your own desire. then think: if 9; then the ships will check distance and use the ammo that is appropriate for the distance. ball, chain, bomb, shrapnel. then learn: when the enemy draws...

    ... look at the back... the doors and all the subdivisions are there. an entire world of terms and descriptions, objects and functions to dive into. amaaazing.

    Sailing 2.0

    Its the logical "next step" i think. But still only an intermediate platform... Hearts of oak might be the "have it all" Pirate sailing game from what i see.

    on facebook they have this button that sez " Like ". well... hey you like "the far side of the world" don't you? The "Bremen" is a specially built ice-strengthened eco-cruise ship which makes regular tours from South America to the Falklands and other South Atlantic islands as well as to the...

    http://library.qualitysimulations.com/screenshots.php?id=1198919458&img=exterior1 Wasa... always liked this tragic ship. if the screenshot is anywhere close to accurate, it is no wonder she turned heads over heels... even to a guy who hates maths and physics!

    Sailing 2.0

    that page has some ships that are similar to our "local" lugger, schooner or brig. bashing a Cutty Sark or a Gorch Fock around the Baltics is not what i am, ultimately, aiming for. More like, learning to push a Golden Hind, a Victory or a Constitution to its limits. So Virtual Sailor7 is still...

    ... if i were to climb the shrouds, to enlarge my horizon, look further than W,A,S,D... Lay the Powder and the Cannons aside, and only focus on the Sailing... With the ambition to learn the basics, but not stay on a one mast triagle sail cutter... but to manage big stuff, up to sailing a fully...
