Maybe we can pilot the Proba Koala, Exxon Valdes, Prestige, or Titanic!
And isn't the Deepwater Horizon technically a 'ship'?

The game might even feature Somali pirates :cool:
 
How does this fit the "Historical games" forum? When this games writes the future history of simulation games, you will understand that no other game fits this forum more then this one B)

And best of luck to them!
 
I'd like to have a chance to pilot a BP oil platform. It seems to be quite a challenge. :)
 
Honestly, I was a bit interested when I started reading the description Teurlinx posted..until I got to this part:

'Official Greenpeace license : sail famous Greenpeace ships and take on ecological missions based on real events!'

That's just disturbing.

There's still hope that you can play those missions from the whaler's perspective where you can ram / harpoon their fancy brand-new high-tech ship.

It's the Extreme edition after all!

Actually i wish you could play as the righteous DGSE and sink the rainbow warrior in true call of duty Modern Warfare style.:D
EDIT: And then run for presidency in France! Or use your sister for that.

Well, you'll probably have to be the Greenpeace boat and ram the whalers till you sink :rofl:
 
It does not fit very well in this category, but even less in the other ones. I think I'm going to put in in 'Other' instead. Where is that you say? Well, it does not exist yet!

What's so bad about green peace here? What the wailing companies are doing is disgusting and green-peace are right in protesting against it. How about considering each action of the organization from a neutral perspective, instead of immediately jumping on the "haters band-wagon" next time. Hm?

Any way, this is off topic. The game seems nice. :)
