I suspected as much!
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

Perhaps the ships need nicknames as well, like us.JensAyton wrote:Perhaps ashortNameis in order…
I mean, I don't expect you all to refer to me as "His exalted and most high majesty, uberpumpkinfieldenfuhrer Smivs the humungous, son of Ronald the magnificent, Grand Ambassador to the Ooniverse for the noble and gracious people of Cucurbita" do I? Smivs is fine.
