I want to torpedo that so much

Kapitan · 02-03-06, 07:41 AM

if you torpedo me then you will have the highest kill tonnage ever im worth more than erich top or what ever the top scorer is

joea · 02-03-06, 08:21 AM

To you guys who want to torpedo Kaptain. I'm phoning Greenpeace.

Polluters.

Kapitan · 02-03-06, 08:27 AM

oh yeah forgot to mention IM FULLY LOADED

Kapitan · 02-03-06, 11:31 AM

Day one:

Left liverpool and headed west, water depth started shallow but got deeper and deeper im worried about the english channel but should be ok.

Ships that i have passed include a bulk carrier a sailing ship and the USS Chaffee, which was intresting as she came a bit close for comfort.

Heading south now hope not to bump into any ferries but can happen as i cant exactly move in any great form.

Looks like you are switching boredom for boredom but I can relate, I like Microsoft's Train Simulator.
Just don't run over any little boats.

Kapitan · 02-03-06, 12:41 PM

Just missed a P&O ferry about an hour ago flipping thing came way to close

thankfully didnt hit it.

Silly captain comes way to close to me almost colliding with me, even with the bad weather he shouldnt be able to miss me.

USS Chaffee passes my port bridge wing at a distance.

A container ship passes my port side just after USS Chaffee.

Activity ended, train derailed.

lol well played oberon

Kapitan · 02-03-06, 01:36 PM

My view so far:

I like this tanker she is very nice not monoverable not fast sluggish but cool, ive rounded the cornwall coast next is the english channel and ive got to follow the coast as close as possible, also the Queen Mary 2 will be coming towards me soon possibly within the next 11 or 12 hours i hope to get a shot or two of her.

The autopilot is very helpful and so is the XO (my monkey) he stands the 0000 to the 1200 watch and i do the rest although i am mainly on the laptop talking to people and playing DW

Kapitan · 02-03-06, 02:01 PM

Well i was wrong seems the QM2 was closer than i though and ive managed to get a screen shot of her.

PUUUUUUUUUUUUUURDY aint she?

Kapitan · 02-03-06, 04:30 PM

Now the enlgish channel is the busiest shipping lane in the world, and you cant trust it so ive found.

A silja line ferry almost collided with me this is the second such incident since i set out and its becoming annoying i mean are these guys effing blind or what.

The silja Finnjet just managed to turn before she scraped along my side but i expect that there is worse to come with the dover calais ferrys out there.

Whats more annoying is i dont think there is enough water under the keel to dock in harwich but im going to try anyway

Finnjet just seconds before she would have collided with me.

They do like to get close

bradclark1 · 02-03-06, 06:09 PM

Well I bought it and I have to say I can't think of anything else that I have totally wasted my money on as this. This is a play an hour and never use it again.

Going back to my trains.

TteFAboB · 02-03-06, 06:19 PM

Can you make a more detailed review? I was thinking about buying it, kapitains adventure sounds interesting, but I wonder what else you can do with this thing.

Kapitan · 02-03-06, 08:06 PM

theres alsorts plenty of ships subs to download, its fairly realistic its nothing like DW ive had it for a while and i enjoy it.

if you expect a sim like DW your far wrong
