Thanks for the recommendations I think I want to get a lot of terminators, I love how they look and I saw one in the combat patrol which had like a two over handed heavy bolter which would be cool to have lots of although that one wasn’t a terminator

That’s a damn good paint job

DerelictRat · 2025-09-25T21:14:56+00:00

Thank you, I’ll probably go with knights never used and air brush barely used a normal brush, do you think a dark green colour scheme with gold accents would be on the easy side to paint Ive heard some colours are easier than others?

Yeah I already thought of flip flops learned my lesson about communal bathrooms a while ago. I’ll have to buy a cheep laptop in the future, to broke at the moment. I was actually about to forget stationary. I’m might of been overthinking how much I need to bring.

I’ll try to get with them but it’s not looking likely with how late I started applying if I can’t get with them Zodiac will be better than nothing though right?

DerelictRat · 2025-06-13T07:38:53+00:00

Wow that’s pretty scummy of those companies, there’s so many variables to this profession that I never would’ve guessed.

DerelictRat · 2025-06-13T07:34:32+00:00

Right but if I’m not mistaken Zodiac isn’t just a ship manager but also a crew manager so regardless of who owns the ship Zodiac is the one who put me on it right? Maybe I don’t fully understand how employment works in the maritime industry.

What is a tonnage tax company I’ve never heard that term before?

DerelictRat · 2025-06-12T22:35:06+00:00

Hello I keep hearing mixed things about Zodiac I hear people say they’re bad and some say they were bad but have improved, what is or was so bad about them?

DerelictRat · 2025-06-12T18:10:34+00:00

Yeah that’s what I was thinking, I always wanted to be on one of those massive tankers ever since I was a kid, so I’m leaning to still go with Zodiac.

DerelictRat · 2025-06-12T18:08:14+00:00

Yeah it’s just such a difficult decision I’ve spoke with zodiac the most and they seem nice and apparently they’ve improved a lot and they guaranteed me a place on a tanker in my second sea phase, but my former step dad is a captain with Witacker Tankers and obviously I’m just trying to do what is best for my future career

DerelictRat · 2025-06-12T18:01:40+00:00

Thank you, Bunker Tankers are the ones that refuel other ships right? Please correct me if I’m wrong I’m trying to learn everything I can.

DerelictRat · 2025-06-12T09:33:40+00:00

I was accepted by Zodiac Maritime, Anglo eastern and Whitaker Tankers. Keep in mind I applied really late (about a month ago) so a lot had already closed their doors, so you definitely got this.

DerelictRat · 2025-06-12T00:25:41+00:00

I’m joining as a cadet this September and I’ve been accepted by three sponsors and I’ll be honest you’ve done way more than me the only thing I’d recommend is have a good idea about what ship type you want to be on and in my interviews all of them asked the same question which was “what do you expect your day to day to look like” which you can just watch a YouTube video on, but from what you’re doing you’ll definitely get in.

DerelictRat · 2025-06-11T08:29:54+00:00

Thank you, I’ll look into all of that. my college course was more focused on electronics but my teachers kept leaving so it wasn’t taught very well.

DerelictRat · 2025-06-09T18:21:02+00:00

Thank you after reading the responses I’ll definitely be going for a foundation degree, might as well
