Default About the AC-4 Ship

I see in the Sea folder in GWX the AC-4 files that belong to the Proteus Collier ship, but looking in the roster folder, I can't find this ship available for any country. Also, when I look for that ship in the Mision Editor, I can't fin it under "Proteus Collier" or any other similar name. looks like no country has it available in the roster. Does this ship have another name for the roster? How can I add this ship to other countries in the roster? Where can I find the correct file to add the ship to other countries?


Thanks for your help.

AFAIK this is rostered to Environmental as a Lightship somebody might correct me if I'm wrong.

I just found it in the roster in the Canadian folder with the Name PRT...


[UnitClass]
ClassName=PRT
UnitType=100
AppearanceDate=19380101

I suppose this is the same ship I was talking about, the Proteus Collier...

I see, there are 2 similar ships, the AC-4 and the NPRT.... that's why I couldn't find it...the AC-4 is in the environmental folder and the NPRT is in the canadian folder. Actually, it was my mistake, I should have been looking for the NPRT, not the AC-4...


Sorry for the trouble...

AC-4 is a Ghost ship.

I've heard about th ghost ship in GWX... If I recall right, it was the Easter Egg... however I never stumbled with it in more than 10 years playing SH3...




Is that the same thing you are talking about?


Yeah, well, I found my mistake... I was looking for the NPRT, not the AC-4...

That is the SH4 ship.
Not the USS Cyclops in GWX.
One of MANY Easter Eggs!
Not all have been found!
Slackers!
