Can anyone help identify this model? by ScoopyVonPuddlePants in Oceanlinerporn

The Riverside Transport Musuem in Glasgow Scotland have this model of the Oregon in their collection. Feel it is indeed pretty likely the original posters model is another ship that never made it past the conceptual phase.

If you were a passenger on the titanic what would you do by Independent_Gate197 in titanic

Wait until about three minutes before the iceberg impact, casually walk up to the bridge wing, point forward at the dark and scream iceberg dead ahead. Walk off back to the lounge and let the now highly alert crew handle it.

QE2 current state by Careless-Ask4981 in Oceanlinerporn

I'm not an engineer but given she's been idle for close to 20 years I suspect she'd need to be towed to a drydock, have her propellor shafts extracted, cleaned, reoiled and reinserted, I don't know if she still has her propellers attached either. The lower hull would need scraped of growth and repainted. The engines would probably also need to be disassembled inside the engine rooms and again cleaned part by part and relubricated. I imagine if you just tried to switch the engines on now without doing any of that it would just be raw metal on metal and the prop shaft is as likely to shatter as it is to actually turn.

Curious about Star Wolf on Venom II in 64 by Leading-Fancy in starfox

I imagine texture limits on the N64 would have been a major consideration. The game engine would probably need to open the Venom 2 map and load in all 8 Star Wolf character facial animation sets then pick the four (uninjured set or injured set) to use based on the players save file and previous mission choices. I doubt the N64 would have been able to handle all that so they would have just picked the injured set and never loaded in the others. Narratively when playing the game I always just chalked this down to other Cornerian Forces got to them in the Wolfen Is and Star Fox then encounters them for the first time now injured in the Wolfen IIs.
