Do you see oil slicks (if you use FX Update) in your game after a sinking?

Yes, I use the FX update. As to oil slicks, I don't recall seeing them but, then again, most of the time I'm not really looking for them. I'm usually trying to get away before Tommy's little winged friends hear of my efforts and close in on me. I'll certainly check it out more in the future.

As to the Black Smoke monster (from Lost , good one!), it will appear just about anywhere and not necessarily linked to any sinkings of mine. Of course, it could be a ship gone down due to bad weather that I didn't know of. It's an interesting idea. I think I'll cruise by one of the scenes of my larger massacres to see if there are smoke monsters present. If so, that would be spooky! Ghosts of Victims Past!
