I understand that this massive ship will go slow, and I will try and find any bugs within the ship (i mostly use infinite fuel anyway lol).

Small Update: On average, most ships of this kind average anywhere from 15 to 20ish knots in the real world. I tried placing new engines and engine types in an effort to speed it up, but I'm afraid that's as fast as she will go. I even placed cargo boxes on the rear deck with gas turbine engines in them to boost the speed, but it didn't work out so well lol

The problem I'm having has something to do with the fuel system, which broke after a previous update. I swapped the engines out and triple checked the fuel lines, but I still can't isolate the problem. My apologies for any inconvenience. If any of you can help identify the problem; I would be most grateful if you shared it with us to fix it. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding :)

but it is slow

nvm it works

never got to move it cuz it is broken:(

this thing is broken

This might be a lot to ask but if you can would you please try to make this thing a little faster its not that bad but still i have to wait like 30 minutes for it to go like 20 km if you could it would be great thanks

@ chunkymonkey2220 - It's a lever on the right hand side of the crane control console.

how do i extend the Extendable/Retractable main deck with the iso thingys?

So with the help of another Stormworker (Stripe) on the Discord, I've realized that the ship is too big and far too detailed to be spawned in normally. That is what was causing the child entities and data/power connections to disappear. So in short, this version of the Hercules has to be spawned in via the mission editor. I will be working on a lower detailed version after the helicopter and the accommodation barge is finished. Thanks yet again for all the comments and subscribers! I really hope that you have enjoyed this project and had fun with it.

i love this ship it help in so many ways but its slow can you make it have a sports mode or make it faster please

So, as a few of you may have noticed... nothing is hooked up! I tried going back to earlier saves and a few other tricks; but no dice. I'm going to have to dive into this beast again, and so I shall. I recently got a new rig up and running and it's still chugging at around 10 fps with this monster. I shall do my very best to get her back up and running, though it may take me a fair bit of time.

Good news is the chopper is practically finished, just having issues getting it to handle right. Chances are the Accommodation Barge will be finished before I can get to the Hercules, but so far so good on that front (at least everything is still connected.) I have a few reservations about working on my other stuff till this game gets "settled" you know? However, I love building stuff, so I guess I'll just have to suffer lol

Hope all of you are doing well in your lives. Peace, love, and good will to all! <o

There is no electricity running to anything.

when i try to drive the ship it starts spinning in cricles and wont go straight

@ sovietmusiclover - I had thought about making a blank version, but you can always modify it to suit your personal needs. Thank you for the input! :)

@ Cyberbob1983 - Thanks for the head's up! :D

Also for those of you interested, the requested rotorcraft is nearing it's completion.

As well as a new vessel under construction.

Thanks yet again for all the subs, I hope you are enjoying the Hercules! :D

I thing this is a copy of your Ship

would be nice if there was a lite version of this with no decor in the hull and not as many lights and whatnot.

ok thank you

@ JackalT01 - They are arranged from 1 to 4 with 1 being the front, and 4 being the rear. P for Port, and S for Starboard.

yes on the panal wich ballast switches are for the bow ballasts?

@ JackalT01 - The two at the front of the ship. They are also connected to the forecastles making them much larger than the other six towards the rear. The idea is to use the bow ballasts to change the angle like a lever so you can get the aft deck under another ship to lift it out of the water. Kinda like a gigantic ocean going forklift if you will.

BIG what ballasts are the bow ballasts

The recent patches have thrown a few things out of whack unfortunately, I will be taking some time to fix it as soon as I can do so. Also, work is nearing completion on the DSEV that goes with this, and a single turbine light co-ax heli is in the works as well as a few other "projects" on the list that never seems to have an end... o.O

@ pedasjma - I haven't had any issues myself, the Davits pick up the RHIBs just fine for me. If you figure it out, let me know.

@ Enter_up - The two bow ballasts are far larger than the other six towards the aft, so don't fill them up all the way. Use them to adjust the level so you can get the aft deck "underneath" another ship by leaving them mostly empty.

As always, thank you all for the comments/feedback, and I hope you keep having fun with it! \o

good build

pedasjma you can but you have to relece the boat

whenever i try to fill all the ballasts the ship just leans towards the front and raises the back out of the water.

i can not get it to fill all the ballasts

why cant the davit cran lift the smal boat i feel like the winches are to week but im not sure

@Sheppey05 I recently used it and did not have that problem.

@ Sheppey05 - I've had it do that a couple of times and couldn't isolate the cause, perhaps I need to throw some more sliders on it?

It looks like the movable floor gets stuck when trying to extend it? Has anyone else found this?

Crane operator controls, the lever on your right.

how do you put out the big floor so you can have cargo?

Amazing!

Shouldn't be too hard to take the ones I have on there off, and put what-ever you please in it's place. Glad you like it though, hope she gives you ideas and fun!

Good creation, only major thing is the RHIB's-their clutch control us annoying af

Great boat but the ribs honestly are some of the worst I have ever used, its like trying to tell a baboon where to go just by pissing on it, other then that great.

Its not very well optimized, its big, hard to use, you probably need at least 2-3 people to operate properly, but damn. Just because the helipad is for once NOT made for RC choppers its my favorite ship in the game.

oh i can taste the frames already

how to get it like I mean I cant get it

Just a friendly reminder, please let me know if you've found anything catastrophically wrong, so I can fix it. Thank you so much for the subs and comments!!!

@The Nuclear Dragon - Those are the bow/aft thrusters, they can be manually controlled with the lever all the way to the right of the throttle's "shelf?" If you hit the 3 key they will be controlled by Falkner's dynamic positioning system (which is insanely good btw.) Visit his page to learn more about it.

Upvote for ISO compliancy

what are the four smaller props below the big ones on the aft, and how does one use them

Also heading hold and autopilot will NOT work together, it's either one or the other. When using autopilot - you must have a waypoint established for it to work properly. It will circle upon reaching it's destination because the azipods/thrusters are not hooked up to it.

@BotHaydn - Make sure heading hold (2 key)/autopilot (Map console) is off and your trim is not set. Thanks for trying her out :)

How do i stop it going in circles

@theoshuff - I would redo the power but I only get 1-2 FPS while working on the logic, so that's what stopped me from doing further development. There are numerous electrical hookups around the ship as well as crew fire fighting stations strategically placed to access all areas of the ship. Thank you for your suggestions!

@DEADPANSOUP8730 - There are Davit Crane controls on the side of the superstructure to the rear of the RHIBs. Hold the Davit Crane In button till the connectors lock on to the RHIB (might want to do this before setting sail.) Hoist the RHIB up and lower the rail with the bottom button, and then press the Davit Crane Out button and lower it into the water. The connectors disconnect is on the RHIBs themselves (bottom right side of console.) Hope that clears it up!

How do I delpoyu rhib, over all great buidl

Can you add a main breaker that goes directly to the battery so when a shark/megladon hits the boat there will be a way to re-enable the boat

and if your able to pls an sprinkles in every room to stop fire

could you also add attachable items that could connect to the boat / a way to charge the boat

and a fluid water room so we can connect hoses and put out fires

Thanks for reading my suggestions

This thing's h o t.
