A Question for Ship Simulator Players

Leon West · 07-14-12, 06:36 AM

Hey guys.

So I've been looking at Ship Simulator Extremes and I have several questions which some time on Google and Youtube can't seem to answer.

I'm very interested in running a fishing vessel and I'm curious to know if you can actually fish in Ship Simulator? The only thing close I've seen was a video on youtube. Apparently it was a mission, and the player had to pick up a crew member, and then had to sail to open ocean to presumably begin fishing. However, from here the video cuts and goes to a part where the player then had to help another fishing vessel in distress. No fishing was done.

If it's possible to just free play and actually fish (IE deploying and hauling in nets, dropping off catch at port, earning money) I'd totally be in for laying down some cash for this game.

I know Deadliest Catch Alaskan Storm is probably closer to a fishing vessel sim all in all, but I'm sick of catching crab.

Anyways, thanks in advance to everyone.

Short answer, no you can´t.
All missions are scripted, there is a free roam option but nothing to make money by hauling things or that kind of stuff.

I have SS extremes and tbh I think it´s quite boring but your opinion may be different.

Thanks much for the reply!

That's a shame. I'm really looking for some sort of fishing vessel simulator that isn't Deadliest Catch and that isn't just plain arcady and horrible.

Talk about a niche market, huh?

Thanks again, Mud!

hehe, no problem Leon.

I did a search for that kind of game you describe about a year ago and found nothing of interest.
A fishing boat/ trawler sim with managment ,maintenance, crew and searching for fishing grounds, bad weather etc.

Maybe something shows up one day but I´m not holding my breath for it

There's always the deadliest catch game. Might be more what your looking for.

Forgot to mention that, but I have Deadliest catch from day one.

Can´t see crab no more
