daylightrain's ships

[daylightrain]

this is my thread where I will post images and renders of my upcoming ships. Every so often I will post a pic of a new ship. It will be black with a question mark on it and you will have one week to guess what it is. Guess right and you will find out what it is and it will be released. Guess wrong, however, and the odds are less likely. To start off, here's a "mystery" ship, and here are your 3 clues...

1. Sister ship to her more famous relatives, but the least known.
2. Had a distinguished career as a troopship in World War I, earning her the nickname "Old Reliable"
3. Was 882.5 ft long and weighed 46,000 tons.

Noah's ark

 

[PBY357]

No, sir I believe he is talking about the RMS Olympic.

Is it the RMS Old Reliable?

 

[ATSF854]

RMS Olympic

 

[daylightrain]

PBY357- CORRECT! RMS Olympic, sister ship to the late Titanic and Britannic. built in 1911, she served a long and amazing career, serving as a troopship in WWI and a passenger ship in her early and later years. Scrapped in 1936 down to waterline and final demolition in 1937. This is the first of the- opps! can't say any more! Don't want to ruin the surprise...

Really? An image in PNG format that takes about 20 seconds to load on broadband to reveal a blacked out ship profile? Perhaps it's time for graphic editing 101 for you...

time to get ADSL2, Euphod...

• AT&T operates ADSL2+ across several markets, primarily former Bellsouth markets. Currently, there is no outward difference in deployment between ADSL and ADSL2+ as they use ADSL2+ almost exclusively for more service range.
• Cavalier Telephone is a competitive local exchange carrier operating in the Midwest, Mid Atlantic, and South East markets.
• CenturyLink as Embarq deployed its first ADSL2+ market (Las Vegas) on September 17, 2007, and has since upgraded their entire network to the ADSL2+ specification, providing up to 10 Mbit/s downstream and 896 kbit/s upstream service depending on a subscriber's distance from the central office. CenturyTel, the other half of what is now CenturyLink, has deployed ADSL2+ up to 10 Mbit/s down and 768 kbit/s up DSL and up to 4 streams of standard definition IPTV or 2 streams of standard definition and 2 streams of high definition in some of their service areas.
• CornerStone Telephone is one of the largest competitive local exchange carriers in New York and has deployed and operates a broadband network supporting ADSL2+ Annex L&M. CornerStone supports on-net customers in Eastern New York.
• Covad (now MegaPath) has deployed services across several cities in the United States and now operates the largest ADSL2+ network in the country.
• Datavo is a competitive local exchange carrier based in California and currently serving over 60 CALIX based central offices throughout Los Angeles county and Orange county. They offer ADSL 2+, T-1s and DSL service.
• Empire One Telecom (EOT), A competitive local exchange carrier in New York, has deployed ADSL2+, and ADSL2+ Bonded service with speeds up to 48 Mbit/s down with 4 Mbit/s up.
• G4 Communications, the largest competitive local exchange carrier in New Hampshire, has deployed ADSL2+ service throughout the State of New Hampshire at speeds up to 24 Mbit/s down with 1 Mbit/s up.
• GVTC, Texas's largest telephone cooperative, uses ADSL2+ to provide 12 Mbit/s internet service over copper in areas that the co-op hasn't upgraded to fiber yet.
• GWI has deployed the service in areas of Maine and New Hampshire.
• LaunchNet has deployed ADSL2+ service in 11 markets throughout the US with download speeds of 15 Mbit/s and upload speeds of 1 Mbit/s.
• North State Communications, a regional incumbent local exchange carrier that serves the Piedmont Triad area of North Carolina, offers ADSL2+ service at speeds up to 20 Mbit down and 768 Kbit up.
• Sonic.net, an ISP based in Santa Rosa California has deployed ADSL2+ services throughout the San Francisco Bay Area with speeds of up to 40 Mbit/s down and 2 Mbit/s up (with bonding.) ADSL2+ is marketed as "Fusion", a service that includes unlimited data and unlimited POTS voice service.
• Visionary Communications, a Wyoming based ISP has deployed ADSL2+ services within various Wyoming cities including Casper, Gillette, Sheridan, Douglas, and Buffalo. Offering downstream speeds up to 15Mbit/s. Visionary also provides g.shdsl, Metro Ethernet (Ethernet in the First Mile over copper), as well as T1, DS3, and fiber services in Wyoming.
• Windstream uses ADSL2+ to provide 12 Mbit/s downstream, 768 kbit/s upstream service to some of their residential customers, as well as 12 Mbit/s downstream, 1 Mbit/s up service to business customers.
• Wireless Beach Access a Delaware competitive local exchange carrier has deployed ADSL2+ services in its citywide WIFI network in Rehoboth Beach, DE, Dewey Beach, DE and Lewes, DE.

Independent telephone companies and rural carriers of North America probably have the highest total number of ADSL2+ subscribers collectively as they are currently using such technology to deliver the so-called triple play voice, video and data services in order to compete with the RBOCs and cable companies with their incumbent local exchange carrier and competitive local exchange carrier footprint.

Current Model:

Maybe all content creators should adopt this guessing game to see if their creations get uploaded. Turn Trainz into an even bigger circus than it is now. Great idea. Suppose its one way to get attention.
