Hello,

that's just a small suggestion,
but as another poc player from hamburg
told me, the dwt of a ship depends on the oil bunkered.
so if you have a ship which has a max dwt of 9000t but bunkered
2000t heavy oil there should remain a dwt of only 7000t.

i think thats not too difficult to implement, as only a formula needs to be
implemented e.g.:

Code:
dwt = spec_dwt - amount_of_fuel


it just came to my mind, when i started to play poc xxl again after a while.

best regards from Hamburg,
Christian Todt

we are using the dwt for price calculation, so more most be changed to be consistent. Also if you first load then bunker you get a problem which affects the user interface.

for price calculation you could just take the
maximum dwt just as it is i think.

but you're right pointing out, that
everyone has to consider then, how much he can load/bunker.
if he's loaded to much, he has to unload some tons to be able to
bunker then.

After all, it was just a suggestion.
The game is very good as it is!

Best regards, Christian Todt

Indeed, in an advanced mode the player should take into account also the weight of bunker when loading the ship, as well as the danger of overloading the vessel. Also, during the journey the ship becomes lighter, shouldn't it consume less or go faster? E.g. if one needs to make a very fast journey, he/she should load only the bunker needed for the travel.

Best regards,
