POLL: New Features for Merchantmen - Page 2

rascal101 · 02-03-09, 09:54 PM

Well I vote for more variety in smoke and damage affects, not so fussed about deck cargo or lifboats - I know its supposed to add a bit of realism, but usually I dont spend too much time hanging around watching lifeboats or the geezers in them.

I did find it a nice touch however, when after re-surfacing after taking a pounding, I surfaced in the middle of some debris - barrels and box's, I thought that was a very nice touch, perhaps this could be expanded upon.

Overall I vote for much more variety in explosions, smoke and fire affects - And I also vote for the immediate release of the merchant fleet mod, with additional items to be optional addons.

My two cents worth

Will you release the mod friday as planned?

? I dont have seen much activity in the last two days

I have posted my vote above, and agree mostly with those above- ie a general need for more realism as merchants (and warships to some extent) look like ghost ships or the marie celeste floating along!
More crew activity, better damage effects from fire, and slags would be good (the flag on the u boat in MEG mod is good I think).

Thanks for your efforts.

robbythesub · 02-04-09, 02:52 AM

Slags! Flags I meant although a few slags for the sailors wouldnt go amiss!!!

nikimcbee · 02-04-09, 03:28 AM

I vote for more varied types of survivors. How hard would it be to animate the lowering of the lifeboats? That would be cool.

Despite being against regulation, this did happen and could be implemented a little
like the life boats, but always on.

Turds, why turds for christ sake - is taking the mod a tad far, why not discarded apple cores or cigarette packets! I mean no insult but was amused at the prospect of navigating through......Turds

Could turds be implemented in the same way as icebergs?

I think we should reccommend that no Turds be represented, on any scale OK!

rascal101 · 02-05-09, 12:06 AM

Can we return to the buisiness at hand ie the poll, looks like more explosions and damage affects are ahead

I didn't mean turds the size of icebergs, but normal sized turds that slowly drift like the icebergs.

Iambecomelife,
Could you elaborate on the poll choices a little more?

rascal101 · 02-05-09, 11:58 PM

Oh no cant we just like drop the turds thing! - I just had to pick myself off the floor from laughing, must be my irreverent southern hemisphere type humour

I for one do not want to sail my brand new national socialist U-boat through seas of heaving tommy turds - no matter how big or small

Quagmire1975 · 02-07-09, 09:38 PM

More "destructable" structures. So when you are shelling a vessel, small bits fly off or holes are punchhed in the superstructure/hull etc.
