One question, why not any changes to the GC height, and LR? would these values help the ship look more massive and less bobbing, by placing it lower? Or does it mess up the depth under keel?
There was a lot of dispute in Thomsen's original thread about the correct values to use for gc_height and LR.

The general concensus seemed to be that all the shipbuilders (the devs and the several makers of later ships, such as Sergbuto, IABL, Rowi58 and others) had done generally a good job for gc_height and LR.

I have added to my ThomsenParamApp the ability to change gc_height and LR globally, so that users can experiment, to see if they can find better values. For example, it might be that they discover that they have made most ships worse, but a few ships better. Then we can change the 'better' ships manually, while leaving the other ships alone.

Of course, that requires anyone who makes the experiment to publish his results for all to see! And the experimenter must be very careful to back up all the 'Sea' folder before making the experiment!
