Yes; I understand that they included several of my ships that I did not like, but in the end it's the super-modmaker's decision. I recommend that all mod makers who want to use my ships use the latest Merchant Fleet Mod - my ships from 2007 and earlier usually don't look as good.

I will not speak for everyone, but personally, I like some of the ships, which are not included in the final version of MFM. For example, I use this ship both the old whale factory ship in my game. That's like the ship, which is called "Pelagos", the German supply ship in Norway:

I'm not releasing the ship in post 16 because it has several errors. Most notably, the cranes are in the wrong position....when at sea, a merchant ship almost always had the cranes secured in either fully upright or fully down position. Leaving the crane booms at an angle would cause damage to the ship and cargo. This is a common error in cargo ship modeling (you see the same problem even on SH5 ships).

Hi IABL, I am a perfectionist too, but I wonder what induced you discarding those otherwise beautiful models rather than correcting the features that you didn't like and/or thought wrong

Seconded

An old iambecomelife's ship called P01B Troop transport was also very nice.

I remember that ship; now I hate how it looks! Very ugly. I'm not a great modder, but IMO my modeling has gotten a little better since then....for that reason, I don't like looking at my old ships.

In my opinion even the release-version of the Merchant Fleet Mod ships look outdated, especially compared to the SH5 stock merchants (I think the devs for SH5 did a very good job on the few cargo ships they did include....the proportions for the SH5 Hog Islander and Liberty Ship were very well done.)

The entire MFM needs to be replaced (among other things for the Atlantic Theatre in SH3/4/5). That will be a project for after I finish my WWI mod. Back to the WWII era!

I didn't look in their proportions, but one of the few things I miss in your ships, is the lack of ambient occlusion maps; a good AO map adds so much to a model.

And one of the rhings I like about SH5 ships is the irregular cracking lines of their hulls, and the modelling of compartments along them

Excellent idea!
