Ship Simulator Extremes: Offshore Vessel

The Offshore Vessel DLC for Ship Simulator Extremes was developed by VStep and published by Paradox Interactive. It was released on January 19, 2012, as part of a series of downloadable content packs that expanded the base game's offerings. This DLC introduced players to the fast offshore supply and utility vessel "Deniz Doga," a versatile ship designed for various maritime operations. The vessel combined speed and agility with real working power, making it ideal for tasks such as supplying offshore platforms, investigating and marking specific diving areas, and performing rescue operations.

In terms of gameplay, the Offshore Vessel DLC provided players with a new vessel to command, complete with realistic controls and functionalities. The "Deniz Doga" featured a deployable rigid-hulled inflatable boat (RHIB) for use during specific missions, adding an extra layer of realism and immersion. The DLC also included several new missions that challenged players to tackle emergencies on board a VLCC carrier, deliver supplies to offshore rigs, and transport the "Doga" on board a large container vessel. Additionally, the Mission Editor was enhanced to allow for the creation and sharing of specific offshore utility and supply missions, further extending the game's replayability.

Promotion for the Offshore Vessel DLC was carried out through various channels, including the official Ship Simulator website and Paradox Interactive's platforms. Announcements highlighted the new vessel's capabilities and the exciting missions players could undertake. The DLC was also featured in sales events, such as the one on January 21, 2012, where the base game and other expansions were offered at discounted prices, encouraging both new and returning players to purchase and experience the new content.

Reception of the Offshore Vessel DLC was generally positive, with players appreciating the addition of a new vessel that offered diverse and engaging missions. The inclusion of the RHIB and the variety of tasks, from rescue operations to logistical support, added depth to the gameplay experience. While the DLC was well-received by the community, some players noted that the content was best suited for those interested in the more specialized aspects of maritime operations, such as offshore supply and utility missions. Overall, the Offshore Vessel DLC contributed to the richness of Ship Simulator Extremes, providing players with new challenges and experiences on the high seas.
