The equation dealing with a ships potential speed is largely effected by the keel length...the wavelengths play less and less of an important roll as keel length increases. The longer a boat is, the faster it can go.

 

I was on board an aircraft carrier and we would literally leave the rest of the fleet in our wake. The carrier is so much faster than the smaller ships like frigates and destroyers.

 

Eta- a Nimitz class carrier has a classified top speed but I'd guess it's close to 55 knots. I know we went over 40.

Wiki says they go at 30+ knots.I don't really know, but considering you've been on one, I guess I'll take your word for it.

There were sailors puking in droves. The skipper comes over the loudspeaker and giggled with delight about the rough ride. He said, "we were traveling well in excess of forty knots." The carrier is incredibly fast and usually a super smooth ride. It can be obnoxious when running nonstop sorties and the jets are taking off and landing once a minute. It quite literally sounds like being in a dumpster that is repeatedly struck with a sledgehammer. Good times.

 

Eta- after all, a Nimitz class has four nuclear reactors to turn the screws.

The world's finest lol.

 

 

Eta- the heist setup, EMP, brought me right back to my carrier service. R* did a nice job on a very scaled down carrier vessel.

so I just rewatched the trailer, vinewood gonna have premiers going on online

I tought everyone noticed that already, I was surprised no one is talking about it...

 

Though they might have just added that scene from story mode just to make the trailer look a bit better. However it would be awesome if something like that would happen online... just meltdown? Going a little off topic here now but I will never forgive R* for making GTA Online take place before the events of Story Mode even though it was released after

 

The first few seconds are obviously an intro to show the glamour of Vinewood. So obvious, that it took like 5 seconds and the first retards on YT stated that we gonna be able to buy and live in hotels.....

[Lemoyne outlaw]

i think if they are going to do the pay a couple houndred thousand dollars just to have the abillity to customize then they should give you one free upgrade. regardless of price. that way its not total rip off.

That's kinda awesome actually, the closest I ever was to a plane of any kind was when they flown over my small-ish city...

Why would they add 30 yachts ?

Each yacht can be used by two players, as there's two helipads.

30 / 2 = 15 Yachts.

BTW This is speculation.

why would they force 2 players to use their owns yachts as one? i think the main purpose of buying a yacht in the first place is to have your OWN yacht. having 2 players share 1 yacht will make them feel like they got together and rented it or something, and not be the rich asshole who owns it and runs the staff n' stuff. the yachts will probably spawn on chosen locations by the game and if this location is full you move to the next (similar to how locations work in Director mode) until the game finds an empty one, or who knows you can select it by yourself if its empty. and regarding the space it will probably be around the map and not only in paleto bay or the southern part. just another speculation though.

I have a sinking feeling that only organisations will be able to buy yachts.

 

Also, i forecast boomer sub tactics, where Kraken skippers will go off radar and emerge in a distance, then shower the yachts with Homing Missiles.

 

Can you target a submarine with a homing missile launcher, anyway?

Technically, boomers would be ballistic missile subs, or SSBNs. You're thinking of an SSGN, which is a cruise missile sub.

The yacht will work like a functional apartment and it can deliver your personal vehicles to the coastline.

Interesting, was thinking of the possibility but didn't think R* would go with it that way.

[Quinn_flower]

I'm not sharing my rose gold yacht with some free loader

[EVOLUT7ON]

I wonder how to new oracle would look like, given that the latest bmw designs are quite ugly.

any proves pls?

They've spent 20 months working and trying to hide any coding about the update.

Everything is possible with a update similar to Heists update development process.

So the Yacht will be a fully functional vehicle?

It acts like a property. I'm still wondering what's the price gonna be?

Can't wait to see how the garage thing is going to work for the yacht.

This update, along with getting the Tampa in a possible Christmas update would be awesome. Fingers crossed.

Seeing that it's only one vehicle and the rest of the content is tunables, it wouldn't be impossible for Rockstar to do it. We may get it on the 22nd.

Who is going to buy on release day and who is going to wait for an "event" sale weekend? Boxing day specials maybe?

 

When we're talking millions of gta$, I'd like to save 25% on as much as I can.

Same here considering I probably won't have enough to get the stuff I want.

I'll probably cave and buy something like one vehicle, but as far as buying everything the day of release? NOPE never again.

And in any case, I think Kaiten Torpedoes will be the most common submersible tactic if the yachts prove to be destructible.
