I still remember Road vehicles in OTTD being limited to a speed of 127KM/h. It was awesome to be able to have road vehicles running at 160 or 180KM/s!

Some years have passed and SHIPS deserve also some love

Come on guys let's please end one of the last limitations from the original game

Ships crash the game. lol

Lol, look I get it, this isn't a high priority feature, nor it missing ruins the game!

But it's one of those old/original limitations that when overcome, would only bring good things and 0 questionable/debatable changes!

How easy it is to implement? I'm guessing very hard or it would already be in trunk, but I do hope that at some point it get's in

Adding an additional property to allow faster speeds, as has been done for road vehicles, would probably not be that difficult. But ships require quite a lot of work to make them "interesting", so as you say I doubt this is a priority for anyone.

I don't care if they're "interesting" or not. But it would be nice if their performance could be improved.

I suppose if you introduced a much higher speed limit for ships, you could make Ekranoplans. They'd be quite interesting.

Ekranoplan? Already did it: http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=39188

I recall hearing that the ship movement handler has to be recoded to support higher movement speeds. Something about movement steps vs. time steps and other such.
