Aw, come on, Kap, you didn't know the channel's three F?

****ing Fast Ferries.

I don't know the game's anti collision AI, but in real life, you just have to have nerves of steel - They wait until the last minute to alter course, and since you're the stand on (I'm assuming you're in a TSS, otherwise you're just the stand on half the time), you can't move. Usually, they pass astern at the last minute...

(And yes, the ferry I worked on did the very same thing. It feels a lot safer when you're the one with the minuscule turning radius!)

Does the game model status lights? You're constrained by your draft! Free pass, baby!

Sort of...
