Version 1.00.02 released ! FIRST MAJOR RELEASE

[Novex]

Huh, why on earth should you lay-up for the rest of the days. If you get there before the time limit is exceeded you should get the full price, without penalties. You do not have to deliver on the exact date Time critical loads generate more cash and sometimes you might decide to take load even if you know that you will never be in time. Doing the often will cost your reputation, however I’m not sure how big the influence will be

Running faster will increase fuel costs but you get more frequently paid for delivered loads. Running slower you will decrease fuel costs, but it takes more time to get to the next port, lowering the ports called per period and in general lower income. Very often, but depending on the vessel type/model: The sooner you get to your destination the sooner you can take on the next load and get paid more frequently. You’ll need to find the balance between time and fuel costs

Cheers, Novex

Thank you, but thats how it should be and I knew from all the games before. But that doesnt happen. That why I think there must be a bug.

I play this game since Amiga500 so I know how it should be

[Novex]

So, if I understand correctly, you don’t get paid for the load when you are on time? And this happened after a recent update? I’m not sure an update could of caused this, sound more like that you have a failure somewhere in the core of the game. Reinstall POC?!? Maybe it’s best that you can try to make screenshots and explain the problem to Rolf-Dieter by e-mail…

I havent change the behavior, but try it with disabled addons first, also send my a save game (before discharge happing using the autosave daily option) so I can have a look as we cannot reproduce the problem (mentioned in 2.) the 1. is as it always was and as it should be.

[Christian Todt]

maybei you entered a wrong harbor eg. to deliver anoher freight.
then he should tell you, that he loks for asnother company to deliver the freight and you've to pay the penalty without getting the rest of your
price.

Hello RDK,

can you make an update only with the simulation speed buttom.
Now the game is only running on high speed,
and it is not so nice to play now.
I think there are more people who likes it back .
And when we have to wait till the next major update, can take a long time.
Or can you tell us when this will be?

Regards,
Arie Zwart.

[rdklein]

is already prepared for the next update comming next week

[Arie Zwart]

Hallo RDK,

Thanks for that.
Can we expect more ore only the simulation speed buttom.

Rgrds,
Arie Zwart.

[rdklein]

- I will provide a new feature list soon - on the weekend some work is planed for the release.

Dear RDK

I know that every update you release are made in the best intensions.

But I am sorry to say, that to me, the latest update simply eliminates the fun of playing POC.

The reasons:

1) The speed simulation slide is missing - I understand that you have decided to implement it again - please do, the sooner the better

2) In the window: "Office" - "Change Ship Destination and Speed", the "Ship Control - Set Speed" window is now covering the text "Bunker at destination: xxxx" so now you can only see 2 digits in the DANISH version and only 3 digits in the ENGLISH version.

This is CRUCIAL information when you are managing more than a few ships - now you are practically operating in blindness as you do not know how much fuel is left for every ship.

Please amend this ASAP.

Best Regards

SKR

hi,
thanks for the feedback, sorry it was a critical update because we had to eliminate some controls not working any longer with the new development, we will solve the involved problems quickly

1 is solved in the next update already.

2. was unknown, so far --- the new control did cover it I assume as its redone, I will move it away.

--
I assume the next update in the next days -- scheduled for monday at the moment. also a full installer and a new web donwload is in preparation.

Now we're talking about overlapping stuff:
in Kara, the buy and pay now button shows a autograph on hover. This autograph overlaps a part of the normal text (days to delivery for example).

for which language settings does this apply ? I didnt change that part ? I will have a look this (maybe its an older problem ?) --

I will put some text into the translatable part on the stock market.

[corne_mo]

The kara problem? I use dutch settings.
