[REL] New Ship: American Ore Freighter

iambecomelife · 02-04-09, 07:34 PM

I decided to release this ship before the rest of the Merchant Fleet Mod. It is an American ore freighter loosely based on the "Marore" and her sister ships. These were large tanker conversions fitted with dry cargo holds for iron ore, coal, etc. "Marore" was sunk in 1942 by U- without loss of life near North Carolina; to this day she is a popular diving site.

The model suffers from a few problems, such as the reflection issue - whenever I try to correct the reflection it is plastered with deck textures instead of the hull skin.

And yes, the rigging does look kind of like a spider web when viewed from an angle, but it all makes sense, if you squint...

Beautiful looking ship, IABL. Can't wait to send her to Davy Jones locker.

Bramtyr · 02-05-09, 04:05 AM

Well done, this should be a welcome addition to find on the seas.

VonDos · 02-05-09, 04:23 AM

Nice, and what a skin work!

coronas · 02-05-09, 04:54 AM

Everyone who has downloaded this ship: has it installed OK for you?

Thanks.

Dear Master Iambecomelife

I want to thank You for Your ships.
We never seen so detailed ships in SH3 before You started creating
them in Your shipyard. They're excellent

.

And my impression...maybe this is stupid but i like Your ships WITHOUT ANY CARGO on board more than those overloaded ones...
Ships with those great cargo crates looks like horses with two riders instead of one...
I think overloaded ships lost their grace, charm...
And that is why i love this ship above - Ore Freighter II - i fall at first
look

The worst thing is that i must sink this beautiful ship immediately

.

At end - my big request to You :
Could You make a ship which will replace this old, ugly, stink, nasty and booooooring piece of rust s**t named M E D I U M C A R G O [ NKLS ] ?
I just can't look at him...When i see this thing then i want to shot myself with my own torpedos...full salvo from all tubes

.

Again many thanks, Master

Wonderful ship. thank you. rigging is accurate and well done. Boom hoists required all that to operate.

coronas · 02-06-09, 04:35 AM

It has installed Ok for me. Only a question: Skins were instaled in American skins .bat file of MFM. Is this correct or better in SHCommander Date?

I can only think of one word, IABL.... GORGEOUS!

Whoever thought a salty, rusty, oily, smoky piece of steel could be sexy?
