WB, something I've been hoping for is the 'babies' - little coastal merchants, of which there were hundreds, maybe thousands. The smallest ship in the game is NCOT, a coastal tanker of 1200 tons. With randomizaion it sometimes registers as small as 900; but there were tankers and freighters running up and down the east coast of Britain and across the channel that were as small as 300 tons, and they looked like nothing else.

IABL has talked about possibly doing some, but he is busy with almost 40 new ships right now, and that project is a lot of work. While people are busy making 80,000-ton liners that hardly ever appear, fully 1/5 of all the merchants that sailed are unrepresented.

I rest my case.
