Long distance travels , open ocean voyages between ports

6 new ships, an oil rig, and 3 new environments
Walkthrough functionality and interactive bridge controls on all ships - capitans cabbin?
Controllable container crane

That's some great looking water....

But it suffers from not having people modeled, imo.

Agreed.

Having people modeled would add life to a scene. They seem to be on some ships, but not most.
