lifebote Will the crane/davit holding it be programmed to lower and launch the life-boat or will it just drop it into the water?
Could there perhaps be an option to add a more proper and realistic lifeboat, instead of that coast-guard rescue boat? Most cargo ships have 2 lifeboats, both intended to carry everybody on-board until a rescue ship arrived. Also yes, I know some ships have lifeboats looking similar to the one showcased, but it would be cool if we got a lifeboat inspired by the ones in the images below: Or perhaps there would be an option to have a second crane on the stern (back) of the ship, holding up a life-boat.
This rescue boat is not intended to be as a lifeboat. Its meant to go to rescue some drowning people or something, or maybe go to a shore if the water is too shallow for the big ship. But yes, it could be swapped for something else - it cannot be much bigger then this or it won't fit. On the main deck yes. A small submarine for example - but as a separate vehicle, because the node count would go too high for this ship. Also planning to do a helipad option on the front section above the cabin.
Holy crap, it's massive! How much do you reckon it'll cost on release, and will it work with walking mode? I'd buy it for sure!
