I only have the demos but I assume it's similar in the retail game.

The ships are a very sterile environment. I've already mentioned elsewhere at least having AI human figures manning the guns.

What I'm referring to here is there should be sounds of people. Whether it's a captain/player giving orders or a crew member reporting to the captain, it's too silent on board.

That would be good with the graphics in E:RT are cool way better than Destroyer Command where the screws dont even turn when you see them coming out of the water in high seas. When i got the game 2 days ago, I thought that not having crewman vissible on the decks was a missing component

I agree...adding static crew members would be a big plus.

All the best, Don

The reason there are no human figures is that it would effect their content rating and hence number of sales.

Maybe in Multiplayer this restriction will be less of an issue and you'll be able to see your hapless helmsman, gratuitous gunner & tenacious torpedoman at work ;)

If you look at the game packaging, you'll see a small logo in the bottom left. That shows it has a "Teen" rating. If they had humans in the game they'd be the next rating up, whatever that is.

Hope that helps!

actually its not paranoia, its true, and you may believe it or not.

a wise man explained it once.

He said "the reason we dont have men on deck is cause then people would shooting for the men with their AA guns......"

sorry but I cant remember the rest. Im sure East can, it was him who said it :)

The same applies to sea critters ;)

That is correct. We have been working on some strategic relationships that encouraged us to get a T rating or lower. Human crew are in the works for an unspecified release.
