[REL] New Ship: American Ore Freighter
 

I decided to release this ship before the rest of the Merchant Fleet Mod. It is an American ore freighter loosely based on the "Marore" and her sister ships. These were large tanker conversions fitted with dry cargo holds for iron ore, coal, etc. "Marore" was sunk in 1942 by U- without loss of life near North Carolina; to this day she is a popular diving site.

The model suffers from a few problems, such as the reflection issue - whenever I try to correct the reflection it is plastered with deck textures instead of the hull skin. :damn: And yes, the rigging does look kind of like a spider web when viewed from an angle, but it all makes sense, if you squint...

Beautiful looking ship, IABL. Can't wait to send her to Davy Jones locker.

Well done, this should be a welcome addition to find on the seas.

Nice, and what a skin work! :up:

Fine ship, Master! :yeah:

Nice candy before the cake.:haha: Gr8 job. :up:

Thank You iambecomelife :yeah:.

Fantastic! Looking forwards to the rest of the fleet :smug: (Will this be included with it, by the way?)

WhoooP!!!:rock:

lol
New ship names cfg coming ???
:rotfl:

Nice ship.:up: How would I go about adding this to the ship names cfg? Just curious...

Look at the Sea and Roster files that come with the ship to get the Class Name. Then enter it the way it is for other ships in the file. Then do weeks or months of research to find all the ships you can that look like that. Then enter them the way the others are done. Or just wait awhile, because I'll be doing a new update around the first of every month.

+1 :up:

Everyone who has downloaded this ship: has it installed OK for you?

Thanks.

Respect, impression and request.
 

Dear Master Iambecomelife;)

I want to thank You for Your ships.
We never seen so detailed ships in SH3 before You started creating
them in Your shipyard. They're excellent:salute:.

And my impression...maybe this is stupid but i like Your ships WITHOUT ANY CARGO on board more than those overloaded ones...
Ships with those great cargo crates looks like horses with two riders instead of one...
I think overloaded ships lost their grace, charm...
And that is why i love this ship above - Ore Freighter II - i fall at first
look:yeah:
The worst thing is that i must sink this beautiful ship immediately:-? :03:.

At end - my big request to You :
Could You make a ship which will replace this old, ugly, stink, nasty and booooooring piece of rust s**t named M E D I U M C A R G O [ NKLS ] ?
I just can't look at him...When i see this thing then i want to shot myself with my own torpedos...full salvo from all tubes:wah: :wah: :wah:.

Again many thanks, Master:up:
