If we started a petition to have the IX boats

Or one of us subsimmers could re-texture the old SH3 IX boats and give them all the new things SH5 requires in a U-boot

the problem is importing it into the sh5 gr2 format. Even with TDW's awesome tool, you only can delete/replace in existing gr2 file, not create a new one yet (I think, there might be and probably is lots of things that I'm not aware of - I'm just learning atm).

Not only that, but just importing the hull is not enough. You also need to make all the rooms and animations. That is not including scaling of the model (not sure how close they are between games), all the sounds and meshes, equipment and effects.

I bet TDW and privateer can do it 'by hand', metaphorically speaking, but I don't think SH5 deserves it to get like this :P
