For example, I've heard many criticisms of the C3 cargo, often being described as having the 'wrong shape, too tall etc. etc.' When you see it in a convoy compared to the excellent ships in the 'Community Ships' mod and the equally excellent ships by Iambecomelife, it really does stand out as a bit of a white elephant!
Given how many great ships are now available with more on the way (again IABL's superb merchant mod springs to mind), would we really miss the odd stock one for added realism? :hmm: Or would (could) they need to be replaced with a similar vessel because of the scripting (convoys, routes etc.) ?
Just a thought.
I was wondering what others views are on this?
Cheers all!

You're 100% right about some of the stock ships - one of the interesting things about the game has been the variations in stock merchant quality. They range from excellent (Tramp Steamer, Victory Cargo, Small Tanker) to adequate (T-3) to awkward (C-3). My guess is that the cruder-looking ships may have been rushed b/c of a lack of development time.
I would like to try remodeling several of the ships for sure - especially the T-2 tanker, C-2, C-3, and the Liberty Ship. I made a half-hearted try at the C-2 that did not go very well - maybe in a couple of months I'll get it done.
