we always think about a good method to speed up long ways in some maps

1. ALT-S to swith to a 150 kn modus ??

2. we can place more start and endpoints in the harbours (like new york) and search for the closest for a given berth

what do you think. (1. is fast to realize 2. takes time as I have to tocuh all harbours). or both Wink

this shoudl also be for Ports Of Call 2008 deluxe edition of astragon.

Ich würde die 2. Methode bevorzugen.
Oder mehr "Action" in den großen Häfen, so dass man etwas zu tun hat und nicht nur stupide geradeaus fahren muss.
Ein Zufallsgenerator für Schiffsbegegnungen wäre hier nicht schlecht, also nicht nur Schiffchen die im Kreis fahren oder von a nach b und wieder zurück.


By the Way. Bei den Riffen sollte man mal die Start und Endfahne entfernen, vor allem bei der 2008Deluxe. Ist irgendwie komisch, wenn man durch Riffe steuern soll auf hoher See und fühlt sich an wie ein Rennen.

Very good idea Very Happy but ...

ref 1. Who can handle 150 kts when on the other hand the vessel reacts lifelike with most inert motion?

ref 2. Best way, to my opinion.

And I support all Captain Brackwasser wrote. More action on the water way would make a long approach more attractive, particularly when AI ships develope more intelligent behaviour toward the environment. Perhaps you could activate VHF communication to change information between vessels like "passing red/red" etc.

Ja in der tat, noch ein überbleibsel vom racer (multiuser...),

yes you are right method 2 is the optimal, we will use this also the traffic part, we work on a ai version, were the ships get a rough plan, but first we will use some paths, maybe also event like (not always there for example).

ich bitte darum, die langen (realistischeren) anlegewege zu belassen und die kürzeren optional verfügbar zu machen.
ich spiele nämlich gerade die langen und etwas kniffeligen häfen.

English: Please rdk, let the long way horbors like they are
and place an option for the planned shorter ways.
I like to play the long a bit difficult harbors very much.

Making shorter routes can be a pain in the ass for antwerp for example. If you want a shorter route you have to put the starting point for berthing inside the locks area which means the locks will be useless for most berths. (Especially cause the berths are assigned a bit strange).
So for NY for example it's OK for me as that's just straight out sailing.

not easy to solve, an arcade option was also planed some time ago, e.g. to switch the real habrours to smaller harbours,

-- for ports of call 2008 deluxe edition we got a lot of critic as the harbours take so much time to travel through...(which is real but....)

-- any other ideas

*bump*


May I suggest a variation on the first method?

Instead of a 150 kn switch, maybe a few game-speed switches?

By this I mean some switches that make the timer go faster (and with it all ship movement).

For instance:

Alt-1 = 1x game speed (what you get now)
Alt-2 = 2x game speed (makes everything go twice as fast)
Alt-3 = 4x game speed
Alt-4 = 8x game speed

The gameplay will remain the same this way but at least you won't lose 6 minutes watching your ship sail in a clear straight line just to get to the other side of the harbor (as 8x game speed would shorten this to 45 seconds).

Is something like this doable?
