Mercenary 8 Posted January 11, 2019 How can i reverse a ship stack in a dock please? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tezcatlipoca 76 Posted January 11, 2019 Ships can move realy slowly backwarts at pressing s. Sails must be caught, I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mercenary 8 Posted January 11, 2019 sail if fine moving every ware free I try reverse and don't work at all even with the wind in my favour Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Razorwire 15 Posted January 11, 2019 On a raft, you're probably out of luck; they can't reverse and need to go forward to turn. On a ship with a wheel, you can set sails to 0% and hold down S to (extremely slowly) reverse, as Tez said above, and can also turn on the spot on 0% sail.

merlinpaladin 8 Posted January 11, 2019 I have never seen this work for me. I had a ship I had to scuttle because it was caught in some shallows that I didnt see until too late. I spent a good 30 minutes holding S and moving left and right to no effect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Razorwire 15 Posted January 11, 2019 Well that sucks, Merlin. Maybe doesn't work if you're grounded? I reverse-park our ships every time we return home, so I know it definately works in general. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coggage 239 Posted January 11, 2019 I was grounded on hard-to-see shallows with a sloop but managed to back off ok. I held "D" down as I held "S" down and did a bit of a reverse turn. Maybe you were really badly wedged onto the shallows? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
merlinpaladin 8 Posted January 11, 2019 probably. i was sailing after dark and got in a nasty spot. kinda annoying to lose all that time. <shrug> I just wish it was less real and more fun in that you can maneuver and park your ships easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coggage 239 Posted January 12, 2019 You need to pay attention when sailing a Raft. They're a square slab of wood with no rudder and a clunky sail, so they are bound to be difficult to turn using the sail, in comparison to the Sloop. Honestly, dump the Raft - I loved my Rafts but having tried a Sloop I'll only ever use Rafts as floating platforms for a Bed. Sloops dance across the water and turn on a dime as well as being able to back up nicely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
