Do you ever wonder why they call it the small Split Freighter

This shot speeks for its self.

That sir.. would NOT be a small split.

More like a huge crack ! :p

On a serious note, why the nomenclature of 'split' ?

captiandon · 11-12-07, 09:02 PM

I would imagine its due to that it has two holds for differant kinds of cargo. that would be my guess

Not after your submarine was done with it...

On a serious note, I'd also guess that the name split refers to two different kinds of holds, maybe one for dry goods and one for liquids. Can't say for certain, but since most ships have more than one hold, actually choosing to name it 'split' would have to be for more of a reason than purely the number of holds.

Good pic by the way.

That torpedo came in at an agnle from the bow aft. Looking at the shot that was perfect for doing the most damage to the ship as I could. It blew out the entire keel under the engine room Its just to bad on couldnt see the engine falling out and a little more to the effect.

Also I installed a mod and my Sinking icon on the map is differant colors. For this ship was Blue and I have seen Green ones and red. What does that meen?

captiandon · 11-12-07, 11:16 PM

From the Bow to the aft. Was a head on shot and he turned to the port. The torpedo entered and went that way
