Bermuda Sloop

[ged]

Fine ship she is, fo' sure.

Sadly there's a rather odd looking thing to her, i have no screenshots atm, as i missed the opportunity:
when every mast except for the thing on the front gets blown off (the one thats nearly horizontal). the front sail hangs in the air... as if the old ropes got stiffened by the salt <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

ill add an screenshot as soon as it happens to me again.

and excuse me for my lack of knowledge of the nautical terms.

Indeed, my good man. Why, while adding new parts to my <i>Black Pearl</i>, I affectionely refer to all of them as "thingies" <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Bah! All those names are but unecessary - I only need to know what thingie goes where, and I have pretty pictures for that <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

In regards to the problem, don't bother getting worked up on having it fixed. Aint gonna happen.

yeah - i'm quite ruthless about these things - 'Bermuda Sloop' isnt in my start up ships in buildsettings.h - it just doesnt fit the period imho. It's great that it got made and is available, but i just dont like the look of it - too modern/fantasy for my tastes.

So the answer mr.Gedscho(can we still call you ged for short?) is you replace it in your buildsettings.h with something else - i like the 'Cutter1' myself - more so when i fix the 'dead sail' issue <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
