Keep up the great work.  |
The ships as released will generally have between 5=10 civilian skins, and no more than 5 wartime skins. It all depends on the type of ship. The more common types will have more skins. For instance, lots of companies used 5,000 ton freighters, so these ships may have as many as 12 skins for each nationality. Some of the larger tankers, on the other hand, would only have been used by major companies like "Esso" and "Shell", and only require 2 skins.
Maybe a dozen of the models will be cloned in the "Full" version to allow for correct neutrality markings, etc. The goal is for players to try ID'ing ships based on attributes like neutrality flags, funnel markings, hull lettering, and similar features. IMO this is much more immersive than using color-coded map icons. Countries likely to have clones:
-Norway
-US
-Greece
-Sweden
-Denmark
Nations that may be included (depending on filesize constraints):
-Japan
-Ireland
-Spain
-France
-Italy
-Portugal
The "Light" verison of the mod will have no clones and 2-3 skins per ship.
