Yes definitely, but not soon.

So...FISH players, any feedback on the 0.8.2 release?

[Hyronymus]

Where are the sailing ships ?

[NekoMaster]

Where are the sailing ships ?

Theres already a grf for that Mr. Mod :3

I know, I'm using it in my newest game. Would be nice if it all came in 1 grf though .

And what do you expect us to say except "GREAT!"

[Emperor Jake]

What about AWESOME!

One word.....Ekranoplan

Hmm.... weird but different, I just learned something new today though, 2 problems that might prevent Ekranoplans from being included

1) Ships in OpenTTD cannot leave water and travel on land
2) Ekranoplans function similar to aeroplans in that they take off and land so I don't know if that behavior could be coded into a ship

[oberhümer]

...and don't forget 3: Ships can go at most 127 km/h.

[Zephyris]

I have made an ekranoplan grf before... it just needs vehicle stats... its on the forum somewhere.

Take off and landing, well we can fudge that. Rapid acceleration perhaps. As for going over land, Ekranoplans as a rule cannot travel over land. It's too bumpy. Besides, we have hovercraft in game when one of their main benefits is being amphibious, yet they cannot perform so in TTD

The speed thing does present a problem however. Is this a limitation that might be removed at some point in the future of OTTD?

[Kjell Bjarne]

I like FISH very much, but 2 things about the Log Raft seems strange to me.

3 different capacities but same speed and same display of cargo.

Im not sure if speed can be changed through refit without a regearing sceme like in NARS2

Er, no, the point of "regearing" in NARS2 was to allow the locomotive to be refitted at all. With a ship with a capacity, there's no problems there at all.

I just wasn't sure if it could be applied to other stuff besides rail vehicles.

It is unfinished and will be fixed in the next release

I'm not sure if the speed will change by refit. It could, but I don't know if it needs to.

I think that higher capacity would equal lower top speed so that power can be focused on hauling the cargo rather then zooming around like planes and trains

[leaderfrontier]

I wonder that what cargo can be carry if aircraft carrier exist.

Um, soldiers, weapons, and military jets?
