Yes.

But you do not pay to operate the dock, while IRL it costs much more than in transit cost. So, the cost while docked should be HIGHER!

...Or the cost in transit should be lower!?

Dock running costs... hmm, sounds something like a recent topic on electricity and rails and other infrastructure...

Now that HEQS 1.0 is done, I've been making some tweaks to FISH.

First up, I removed a couple of ships, and changed the capacity of the others. This is better for gameplay and makes room for some new ships I'm going to add.

Secondly, I'm improving the appearance of some of the ships - most of all the River Boats.

First: They look fantastic! Good work Andy, you are the best!
Second: Why the large trader is gone?

The answer is in the release thread...

I have another question, probably a stupid one: Why is the log raft called "Large"? Will there be a small one too?

There was going to be a small one, but it makes more sense to do capacity as a refit for this ship. When I've done that, it will just be 'Log Raft'.

i have suggestion. faster ships introduced somewhere 1990-2025 25-30mph for example

I thought so.

BTW, GREAT job, as always.

i love the riverboat change, look way better now imo

Which is better?

I think the last one (somethin similar there), but where's that cargo door colour come from?

I agree, the last one is the best.

However, can it be done so that they are all available, let's say at random?

Can I just vote "yes"?

yea make them random or cargo dep. ?

Not if cargo sprites are wanted in future (too much work to do ship variations *and* cargo sprites)....

I figure it's better to allow for cargo sprites (wood and such)?

Never mind then. The last one seems best, second one second best...

How about a time line kind of thing. The top (my overall favorite) or middle for early years and the bottom (my second overall choice) for later years. Rope and pulley unloading early on and cranes in the more modern years makes sense.

There will indeed be multiple generations of coasters, probably at least two steam and two diesel, with different graphics for each*

*Unless I get bored of drawing first.

This is what's included in 0.8.1:

Great!

May I give you an opinion, a small remark: IMO you shoud change the name of the Hovercraft. Bakewell? Isn't that the "original" OTTD name? Somehow it pokes in my eyes and mismatches the remaining ships in the set.

Merry Christmas to all!
