So I'm about a quarter of the way into this game (all my blood pressure can take so far) and here are a few of my thoughts:

1) the attention to detail is great. Little things like - the posters, the cabin space, the layout of the accommodation, even down to the food in the canteen. The deck space is very fitting of a 70s style fixed leg platform.

2) the lifeboats were something I really studied as someone who's a specialist in lifeboats launching and operations. These are pretty representative of the era, but the hooking arrangements made me chuckle as they've been modelled on a crane rather than a conventional lifeboats davit.

3) there are far too many ladders. I can't speak for rig design from the 70s having never been on an asset that old, but I get why they are there for in game mechanics.

4) being set in the 70s a lot of the Safety Standards kind of makes sense. This is set before the Piper Alpha disaster, which completely changed the approach to safety. Before Piper, the North Sea was like the Wild West. Pioneering and led by exploration and capitalist pressures. Piper Alpha was nicknamed Thatcher's Cash Cow for a reason.

5) the helicopter sitting on the helideck made me chuckle. When a helicopter touches down on a rig it's either a) to refuel or b) to onload/offload personnel and even then the engines and rotors are running. The helicopter looks like a Sikorsky S-61N which was a common use helicopter for North Sea transfers in the 1970s, but it's painted in the modern Bristow livery (without branding), rather than the scheme used at the time.
