Interesting Jim.
So just to clarify,if I was say 20km from an enemy port you wouldnt normally see active traffic come and go in the area?This really is a shame.
I guess this forces the player to be more active in his playing style,and that suits me fine
The only traffic I have ever seen at ports is usually no more than 3 moored vessels,and they are usually no bigger than rowing boats and thats it.Come to think of it,if the game rendered a huge amount of traffic (as in real life) the fps would probably drop to about 1 fps,and the complaints would soon mount up.
Just for the record I managed to nail an inbound medium cargo just south of the Shetlands last night,this area is crawling it seems!
