Speaking of boats, Sellu made a couple of great looking boats. I hope he is still around so we could use them.

Yeah I am still here, looking this thread now and then

According to my memory the scale thing was not yet agreed in ships.
just 1 question: what is the blue stuff? it looks like water but i dont see why its on the deck....

I'd imagine its some sort of adhesive surface to walk on without the slippyness.

I guess the deck colour is different for each ship. It looses its colour in the sun and because of the salt water. I Think the colour of the deck is pefect!

yeah it certainly looks great...
sellu could you try to make the cargo vessels as well?
these images are the best ships i've seen, and using the small hull of the LPG tanker its not to hard to make a container (cargo) or "luiquid" cargo hull (for grain and so on)
anyway loooks good, and if you need any pictures i might find some by looking up some boats names (my dad has sort of a list for them)

dont expect to much lol
@ sellu the ships look great, some are finished some need texturing but its good that someone is working on the ships...
if someone creates the docks then would then plz take the ships of sellu for size reference.....
also would be nice to have bigger docks (after a certain year..)

For futuristic ships I suggest to look the ekranoplanes or WIG boats (Wing In Ground-effect)

the infamous Caspian Monster
some views of futuristic commercial WIG

for an passenger WIG boat

for a cargo WIG boat

I have already created the pelican, but the plane is just too ugly to be shown in public.

@ sidew i dont think that the WIG planes should be part of the boats sectoin, since they are not created in docks but in hangars like airplaines (lust like heli's that are created on airports, these only would go over sea or i dont know
@ sellu great boats, again if you need any help ill try to give you
@ whoever who does the RV's i can help you guys as well, just ask;)

I just like the idea of WIG planes. Im sure they can make a plane wich is made in the airport but travels from dock to the dock.

The priority is the Wiki ships. Then further ships can be considered, but we will need more from the now and from the past.

And we must have different ships for bulk cargo, other for container cargo, other for crated cargo etc.

btw i tried a simple depot in little time (i got the idea of a roll-trough depot in the suggestions forum where someone suggested a longer depot with 2 exits.....
i just colored it to try to show that i had some more lines but they all kinda disappeared into the dark...
anyway tell me what you think:-P
