The tonnage number on the Kpt's log is a random value generated from the default ship tonnage, the game doesn't simulate the ship's cargo weight, in fact there's no way to set an individual ship draught besides the sim file.

And further, SH3 randomises tonnage by a whopping +/- 1 ton!

It's one of the reasons why the randomised tonnage feature was built into SH3Cmdr...people got sick of seeing "C3 Cargo 7901 tons" and "C3 Cargo 7899 tons" all the time. ;)

It wouldn't be the first time that a product developer has announced an inclusion only for it not to appear in the final product. :yep:

Well the Captains logs threw me I guess. :oops: bigboywooly and I had a couple conversations in a PM and he straightened me out on the subject.

Sometime you win some, sometimes you lose some and this time It was proven I lost. :damn: :oops:

Oh well back to the drawing board.........er I mean back to sinking T3 tankers high or low. ;)
