My Feedback (wishes, nice to have, suggestions)

[lira-con]

Hello,

great game, I'm playing since 2006 and it is always a lot of fun taking one long night to work as a "global ship-owner".
Instead, there are some things that could be better and some features that would be nice.

1. in office-menu -> schiffsstatistik
the list-box on the left side is ordered by "time when ship ordered".
Having 100 ships it is not good to walk through the list until you find
a requested ship. Ordered by name (like in most other lists) would
be very nice.
2. like item 1, office-menu -> schiffspositionen
3. buying stores in harbours to collect goods (already a topic here)
4. removing goods from a ship in a harbor, even if not the destination.
I think, makes only sense in combination with stores in harbour.
5. Renaming ships without selling them (also topic here)
6. creating individual routes (e.g. Hamburg -> Dubai not via Suez, but via
Cape town and so on).
7. The statistics - I can not understand the meaning exactly. I look for
infos here in forum.
8. Ship-Statistics: price of ship (total price), payed part of price and
monthly payment of mortgage will be a good information on this item.
9. I work with an excel-list for collecting all the infos I need. I have not
found any possibility of data-export outside of POC. If really not
possible, this function will save a lot of time and typing
10. Excellent would be: Adding a new player (e.g. a sub-company) during
a game. Possible for seperating ships (e.g. tanker-company, liner-
company ...). I mean a "sub-player" for one player.
I know, this makes a lot of work, so only a suggestion.
11. Autoplay-modus for each ship, means: selection this option individual
to ships allows the standard-operations (e.g. drive into destination by
using "Schlepper", refueling, going out by "Schlepper", by
storm "round" is done automatically).
12. Collision-warnings:
first appears a message "danger - collision possible". After klick on ok
you enter the scene-application. If you do not react within the 1st
second, in most cases the scenario is already in a position, you can
not prevent the collision. Here will be ggod, when the simulation
starts by clicking a new button (like start simulation).
13. Loading ships:
menu-item "charter", then klick "frachtbörse", the name of the actual
ship is not displayed.

SIM3D

1. My ships have bow and stern thruster. In SIM3D always only bow-thrust is available.
2. Is it possible, to bring own-designed ships into the SIM-mode ? There
is always only a standard-picture for the ships.

So far, I am sure, future development of this game will bring a lot of surprises and more and more fun.

Thanks to all developers, go on right now !

thanks for those hints,

ion the sim3d it only supports one thruster, but you can use pocsim3dII which supports both type of thrusters.
