Ahoy!

The USS Sleuthetania expansion will be ready at 6pm MDT tomorrow (Saturday 6/14). The ship will stay docked in New York from that time until Sunday night, after which she will set sail on her maiden voyage.

Once aboard, you're committed to staying on the ship for three days of travel time (counting from the time she leaves port). So, make sure to pack an extra pair of socks!

Alright, she's in New York harbor now!

Sorry, there's no help file yet. The way this works is, you will usually have a full day to board when the Sleuthetania is in port (New York or Shanghai). It then takes two full days for the trip to be made, during which nobody can get on or off. After that, everybody on board will be dropped off in the next port of call, where the ship will stay for another full day.

Since we're getting a late start today, the ship won't sail until tomorrow at midnight (between Sunday and Monday). After that we'll be on the regular schedule. So, if you want to be on the maiden voyage, get on tonight or tomorrow.

You can play cases, explore the ship, and enjoy " Murder on Sleuthetania", the fantastic new Featured Mystery written by Rosamund Clifford & Secret_Squirrel and edited by Anikka. They put a ton of work into it and it's a fantastic read (thanks to you twos).

You'll notice there are still a couple areas of the ship under construction, so there is not a lot of deeper gameplay there yet. But, there are new items to collect and people to meet. We should have a bit more in there by the next voyage.

Thanks everybody! And thanks for all the wonderful feedback and input everybody gave on this project. This really was a completely player driven expansion. Everything from the initial concept, to the townie names to the details came from you. Round of applause.

I found a problem with the Scripted Mystery in USS Sleuthetania. It seems that i got to the part where one of the suspects told me "That's impossible", then when i tried to go to the map, the screen just turns white. No matter what i tried to do, nothing works. Kindly help.

I am having a similar problem as zen2071, I can access all the other tabs except the map after a certain point in the Scripted Mystery.

Seems there is a bug in the Scripted Mystery. It's already been reported... let's hope it gets fixed soon! :D

also, the automated sleuth helper does not work with the sleuthetania. when i talk to certain suspects all the evidence and other suspects disappears. now, some might say that this is a program developed by an external player and therefore cannot be taken into account when fixing bugs. for me, however, this is the only way i can get through 12 cases every day with ease. without it the game has become totally unusable. i'm not biting my nails over this bug getting fixed but it would make this a much more enjoyable journey and me a returning customer. ...can i get a refund?
