As you can probably tell it didn't grow on me but what I think doesn't really matter to you - only you can tell.

Yeah, that's about what my reaction was as well. I bought it on a wim, and pretty much reget it now. I've been on a campaign out on their forum to get some mods in the game, but VSTEP won't allow it and the comunity dosn't seem to want them either. Not a very friendly comunity out there either if you seem to be rocking the boat (no pun intended). I tried to explain that mods is why games like the SH series and Virtual Sailor as well as the Microsoft FS series have such great followings, but was informed it would be impossible to mod ships for the game, as one would have to know naval architecher and design to even be able to put a ship into the game. Though I expressed my disbelief in that theory and believed otherwise, I was told I was a know it all and didn't know what I was talking about, so I just gave up. I only blame myself that I didn't do my homework and check it out before I bought it. I obviously would have found out it was anti-mod and wouldn't have wasted my money. OMG, I just went out to their forum and VSTEP are going to release a new barge hauling sand in 2013! I can hardly wait!
