Mission 1: Tugboat - Dover https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqQJYaoKnfo Mission 2: Passenger Ferry - Dover https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCR9e3w6L6g Mission 3: Bulk Carrier - Calais to Dover https://www.youtube.com/edit?video_id=tRoqDujOZ0k Mission 4: Fishing Boat - Dover https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3P6IvPsHboc Mission 5: Passenger Ferry Maneuvers - Calais MY REVIEW Finally in early access! I've already played the first two missions (tug boat & passenger ferry) and I'm very impressed. The game is beautiful & relaxing with very few issues to report. I can see this becoming a success story like Euro Truck Simulator 2 in multiplayer but for sea faring fans everywhere! As for what I'd like to see in the future, well I think that while navigating on your main quest waypoints (which can take +1 hour or more on some missions) you could also have sub quests. More examples: 1. 'jump to next waypoint' button should be available at all times or maybe a 'fast forward time' option should be implemented as well. 2. on board customer services like administrative crew hiring/firing, catering or even medical attention 3. routine engine room & pumping station maintenance checks (for all large vessels) 4. various emergency situations like random post vessel collision rescues, responding to fires or even rescuing drowning victims could be a thing as well. 5. the option to use a smaller speed boat to reach some nearby objectives would be cool too. Overall I love this game because I see it going very far and I'm looking forward to countless hours of gaming here. Awesome job from Merge Games & Excalibur Publishing. Keep up the great work guys.
