Unsinkable Sam

[CrazyReese]

I'll eagerly wait for the full release of Sam.. The modern passenger ships looks fine. Kinda' feels weird playing the game in modern era using FISH'es Paddleboat Steam, and the 400 Passenger hovercraft costs a lot.

Using warmed-over sprites from FISH wasn't exactly floating my boat, so I've been improving pixels.

These are derived from FISH, but are now close to 100% repainted.

Steam (1900-ish) and diesel (1950-ish) versions of a standard 540t freighter.

New version - steam, diesel.

More ship sizes happening.

Any hope of having any hydrofoils in the set?
At least something like Raketa that can still be found running passenger routes out there:


Practical fast passenger ships are always cool to have.

Yes. My older ships grfs FISH and Squid have Russia/Ukraine and Boeing type hydrofoils. They will reappear in Sam too.

I've been on a Raketa (Meteor type), Vienna to Bratislava. Quite loud, smells of fuel

Nice! I'll be looking forward to it.
