I read it as "No offensive subjects", which I would interpret as maybe swastikas but more likely nudes and such.

Your 'Devil' is kinda cute.

But my vote has to go for Torpy's mermaid.

In a game like SH I prefer to play with the original historic tower emblems over user created stuff. This should be a simulation and not an action game like Need For Speed and other car racers where players can create their own look of the cars.

Even better they give us a choice - you get your historic accuracy... and I get a leggy devil girl... hopefully the included emblems will be mod-able so each can have their own preference.

Torplexed - are you a commercial artist? If not you certainly missed your calling my friend! Youse got some skillz fer sure...

Considering that historical uboat commanders and crews were able to choose any emblema, including those of their own creation, wouldn't a game that didn't allow the player this option be a-historical?

And a choice available, is not a choice enforced

Do you use your own made up name then for your captain or do you impersonate another real life captain? A tower emblem is no different than making up your own captain's name.

cxsinsanity · 10-12-09, 06:27 AM

I think it's the captains choise for the emblem. And in the fact, you are captain of your boat, so it's your choise. And you can select a non historical emblem too. This would be historical i think.

Kaleun_Endrass · 10-12-09, 07:46 AM

I prefer to select the historical correct emblems for my boats. If I'm assigned to U47 then it's the bull, if it's U48 then it's the black cat and if it's U201 then the snowman decorates my conning tower.
First I thought this contest is just stupid, but now I think it could lead to a better identification with the players avatar, the boat and crew. You create a fictional identity when starting a career, then you select your individual emblem and get the feeling of "thats my boat, harrrghhaaa". It's quite possible I change my attitude...

I wasn't aware I'd posted a picture. To which one are you referring?
