"The Ship" Docks for Repairs & Updates

[Hectic Glenn]

The Ship has received a great deal of updates today, and I mean lots. They range from New features and Balancing, to audio addition and fixes galore. Here's just a few of them

• Added new player models, outfits and hats
• Ragdolls are now containers - players can pick up clothes and items from the the corpses
• Added support for Polish and Japanese localised text & French and German voice-over sounds for Single player
• Players now get arrested when they damage crew shipmates
• Reduced vomit, pee and poo effects (hehe)
• Improved User Interface sounds & added many new sounds

Restart Steam as usual to get these updates for The Ship, to see the full and rather epic change list see HERE. (Thanks to G-Dub for spotting update)

NOOOOO not the vomit effects! I loved them!

 

[Mutley]

I can't see what they can change to make me ever want to seriously play this again.

Nothing, obviously. Your douche factor explicitly conflicts with their design philosophy.

As for the update: the deckplan is actually useful now, and the corpse looting saves a lot of time hunting around for a proper weapon.

And they do this after the free weekend?

EDIT

Following their recent free weekend, it seems they took a lot of notes about what people liked and didn't like... and have implemented them.

Well I suppose if that's true it make sense

Still not sure how it is a retail product. Look at the stats...

 

[Operational]

Oh when I hit view statistics per game I get

Game then number of players
Natural Selection 396
Adrenaline Gamer 12
The Battle Grounds 10

Does that mean that at the time I posted this The Ship had less than 10 people playing online?

It might be getting confused with the original 'The Ship' mod for Hl1.

 

[polyguns]

how many people play this game?
