Do ports in SH3 have ships?

applesthecat · 05-10-09, 01:00 AM

Well, I snuck into Portland harbor tonight and I managed to berth my uboat at one of the piers. Nobody seemed to complain. Those British. So polite.

Can someone tell me how to mod the program so that I have targets to hit in port? I remember SH I had some harbor ships.

Thanks a lot,

Apples

I think it's luck of the draw what you find. Last time I went to Portland I found a T2, a C2, and a small merchant inside, and a coastal vessel just outside the entrace.

GWX defiantly has ships
Stock, it depends

I'd suggest you use one of the supermods if you want reliable/regular harbour traffic.

Some times the ships are there, but they're not in the water!

I've seen a tanker in the TOWN at Portland instead of the harbour before.

Yes, given time, some of the ships can drift and/or lose their waypoints....especially if the player sub/game is saved in close proximity then the game is reloaded.
