Wanted, new ships.

[Bubblehead1980]

Just wondering if anyone plans to create some new merchants for SH 4.Perhaps some that work well with TMO RSRD.Tired of shooting same old merchants and tankers.If I had the time and ability to create them I would but I do not.Hoping someone feels same and will.Prefer they be named _____Maru in the rec manual like in TMO.More realistic than old split freighter blah blah plus easier to remember.

Have you installed shippack 1....?They all show up and I think most do list in the RSRD ID book...I've seem most of them, except the aircraft salvage vessel. The hard thing, so many ships and few really detail if they work with RSRD, some do, some don't.....but you can manually add them.

oldphart had one that dgrayson made took many the ships for FORS to work with TMO, but not sure about RSRD. I've added ships before that didn't state what it worked with and show up fine and others show up, but the second you click on them...bam, CTD.

I'm like you, more ships the better. We have about 100 laying around here, be nice to see them all included with TMO RSRD.

Tambor has the Nagato that works with TMORSRD.

Some big hosptial ships...off the new frieghter design, probably a random texture change would be nice.

Seldom do you see some of the ships listed in the ID book, some of the DD's, CA's, ect...just a random TF that has them. Some show up later war or I just can't find them.

I once started a thread to see if we could SS every ship in the game, but it died out quickly and I stopped adding.

i have ship pack 1, run it when using TMO only but didnt want to run it with RSRD because didnt know if it could conflict.Work ok?

Thinking i am going to break down and redo the convoy layers again for TMO and remember to my backup files this time.I like RSRD and know its historically accurate but parts of it drive me crazy.Main thing is early war beyond the breakout phase in early 42 is boring.Looking at ME not many convoys.May be historically accurate but makes for some boring gameplay only fighting singles.Then again ill miss all the extra ships.Just wish I could make my own changes easily with RSRD, would solve the problem and enjoy the mod i love.Oh well, cant have it all.

What I want are some new merchants and tankers.So can sink something different.

If you have links to any knew merchants let me know.

I already have the big 11,000 ton freighter by miner.

They all show up and seem to work fine with RSRD. It's possible they're not in the RSRD convoy layers and just show up in the stock layers, but I've seen the added ships in TF, convoys ect...

Never had a problem early war with all the invasion forces throughout 42, I find my biggest ones early war, but also spend a lot of time in the Solomon's. The only time I have a problem is some in 43, but I spend more time hunting TF.

Don't know of other merchants, seems everyone makes warships for the most part. I think the New Freighter is based on one of the carrier models.

well most of the convoys in RSRD have specific types of freighters assigned instead of "Generic Freighter " or Generic Tanker....so when convoy spawns instead of a random ship spawns, it spawns a certain ship.Same with the escorts.This is fine but some ships, esp ships not originally in RSRD get left out.The single merchants layers are spawned as Generics though so they will spawn different types.yea noticed most do warships, wish someone would build some new mid sized merchant and tankers.

I never encounter the troopships anymore ...Horai Maru, Kitruin Maru, Tyohei Maru, Conte Verde, miss them a bit.

The big troop ships are really missing. I've only seen one in RSRD during the invasions of the Philippines...I agree, miss those, they were everywhere in stock :-?

lol well dont want them everywhere but would like to run into them with a nice escort screen now and again.
