Don't underestimate the impact of SubSim.
The SHV site doesn't link to subsim on the front page because it is insignificant.

It links to it because it relates to the Silent Hunter series. In terms of sales, this and other such Forums are not a consideration for Ubisoft.

Good luck with that idea. You will have more luck trying to herd cats.

Apart from the crew abilities which i hope can be modded (cannot see why not) I cannot see anyone bashing SH5 . OPS on the other hand deserves to be bashed to death .

If you don't like SH5 I'm sorry but Ubi probably won't care or notice. Stop wearing your fingers out on this and learn to mod. Fix the crap out of SH4 and make it into a game we love. It has a lot of potential. I've been adjusting values and playing with the models since Sh2 days. Either way SH5 can't suck half as bad as SH2. Remember no dynamic campaign?

My one and ONLY concern with DRM is the fact that it will take away from the mod friendliness. If that's the case... oh well.

I'm ignorant and don't see how succesful modding will not be seriously byrestricted by OSB/DRM.

OBS will think modders are hackers

i have given the idea some thought and if the mod tools they speak of are only available online then your mods will also only be doable online and maybe only be able to be kept on UBI servers so it works. that could mean that all data on UBI servers would then belong to UBI giving them the right to steal/borrow/use your mod settings and ideas to call their own and use the modding community as free labor resource to create game updates and fixes for the game.

but this is just wild random speculation on my part and only a company with no reguard for its customers would do such a thing

so maybe the solution is online only modding

Well, there are professionals called "Ubi marketing"... that are paid for making this and similar web sites "alive and kicking" by their input... which was in a last two weeks "gorgeous and exciting"...

If football game is boring - don't blame the crowd and fans... but ask professional players! ...what we should be inspired about ?

Except DRM disaster... there is "raido silence" on Ubi side... with a few arcade screens.

So we can find the way to keep the SH brand alive... or leave it to it's destiny in web silence... boring in both ways.

And if you think that in their own garden, "Ubi forums", the mood is better... check it out

Afterall, I agree with you... it is damn boring and pesimistic... despite the IQ of members... quess whom to blame?

We don't have to play this game to know there are elements within (all duly noted and accounted for from UBI itself) that are, to many of us, troublesome to say the least.

Veeery poor choice of words from me.

It should read
The SHV site does link to SubSim and the reason that it does so is
because Subsim has some significance to Ubisoft.
