If, you do (as I do) leave dock.. just as the guys back then did... (no transporter capability then... mind you.... leave Star Trek, to... well... start trek realm aka uni...
or light speed hyperjumps... that's star wars territory... & just as with star trek... best left there.
)
Any who...
A flag, flapping about as if there's a stiff breeze, when the conditions don't warrant it... aka very slight to no wind blowing... well... that flag flapping about, looks outright... ridiculous to see it flapping about.
Now, after getting under weigh.... is an altogether different matter... & then, the flag... if it is set up to be visible, while in port... or even sailing about... (which is why I loved that ability to hit a set hot keys commands... shift+f to set the flag or to stow it away...) then seeing it flapping about, based on what the wind speeds/conditions are, makes perfect sense.
John, has a grand idea... & would love to see that idea brought to fruition.
