Same problem with me - after tomorrow, I have to get back to work. Only one exam and one essay to go.

I just ran some more tests, and sank three ships. The ships were the Heavy Merchant, Rose Castle, and E.G. Seuber.

I didn't save any pictures of the HM, but I loaded her with Ammo and this time, the forward mast collapsed. I may make a Beta release. :hmm:

The Rose Castle worked alomst perfectly - no CTD. I have no idea why. I haven't made nay changes from the last time I got a CTD. The Bridge (separate from the hull) hovered in place underwater after the ship broke in two though. You will see in the pictures.

The E.G. Seuber didn't work properly though. :( I got a CTD when the ship broke in two. But this was expected, since I have done nothing with the two halves. In the pictures, you will see that the forward lifeboats and the cables for the midships mast need to be moved - I know about that and will do it later.

Here's some shots to bore everybody to death:

- In the above picture, notice how there is still a bow wave, wake, and propeller waves? The tanker was actually stationary due to damage at this time. :-?

This was the last picture I saved. After this, she continued to explode violently and capsize further to starboard before breaking in two just aft of the bridge and crashing the game.

Re: your ctd - I think that the culprit is that mast amidships with the flag on it. If you have one of the original masts (catarg/macara) embedded in the superstructure a crash is extremely likely. I am not totally sure but I think just putting a mast where the parent unit's deckhouse USED to be can cause crashes. WHen I was making the "Victor Ross" I needed to move the mast away from its historical position for this reason. As soon as I moved it from where the liberty ship had its deckhouse it broke in 2 fine.

When can we start seeing some of you new ships in the game iambecomelife?
Could you possibly release a few like AG124 has done? I've been drooling over the pictures of your medium merchants in the ships thread... :up:
