## Description

The Ship Maneuvering Simulator offers an authentic experience of managing large vessels with advanced mathematical hydrodynamic MMG models, commonly used in professional ship handling and mooring simulators. It features realistic effects such as astern propeller impact, drift during turns, pivot point movement, and variable rudder and bow thruster effectiveness influenced by ship velocity and propeller flow.

Currently, users can operate five different types of ships including cargo, supply, battleship, bulker, and a twin-engine cruise ship. The sandbox-style gameplay is set in varied environments like seas, rivers, and ports with customizable current and wind conditions, enhancing training and entertainment for maritime enthusiasts and professionals alike.

## Review summary

Ship Maneuvering Simulator is praised for realism in physics and water, and is enjoyable for ship enthusiasts, but suffers from lag and a lack of depth. Users want more ships, maps, and harbor features, improved controls and hitboxes, and enhanced water dynamics like waves. The game has strong potential but needs performance optimizations and feature expansions to meet player expectations.

### Pros

- Realistic ship physics and navigation (SOG, COG, Heading, ROT, STW) with convincing water interactions.
- Immersive water visuals and convincing ship maneuvering feel.
- Appeals to ship lovers; enjoyable core gameplay with solid, playable base.
- Strong base with potential for expansion; players frequently request more ships, maps, missions, and features.

### Cons

- Lag and performance issues that affect gameplay.
- Limited depth and content (no economy, few ships/maps/ports/locks; harbor models don’t affect gameplay).
- Control/UX issues (unclear controls, need for an interactive bridge, hitbox misalignment, and wall collisions in locks).
- Desire for improved water dynamics and more content (waves/tides, additional ships, missions).
