Maritime tradition. Sailors have always been a very superstitious bunch. Not just navy, just boat folks in general have that tradition.

Its not in movies, its been a tradition as old as sailing. Sailors have always been superstitious and when they refer to a ship as she, its a referring to the ship as a mother or goddess, hopefully guiding the crew home after a long journey.
I'm telling you, I wouldn't be surprised if he releases it on the 14th with a new dating mechanic. A part of that sentence is true, can you guess which half?
"It is generally accepted that ships are referred to as ‘she’ or ‘her’ due to language evolution from the Latin word for ship ‘Navis’ being feminine. Another reason for the use of female pronouns is that ships are usually named after women and are often dedicated to goddesses who provide a protective role for the ship. "
This also stems from most ship owners historically being male and the ship being something of a wife figure. Maried to the sea or boat. Figureheads on the prows of ships were often depictions of such female namesakes, denoting the name of the ship for a largely illiterate maritime population. Like ships countries also are frequently refereed to as female and this as well as with boats may be due to a desire to protect and cherish females more than men historically especially in the context of nationalism and patriotism.
Anecdotally sometimes they will say because they are difficult to work with and require a lot of maintenance.
“A ship is called a she because there is always a great deal of bustle around her; there is usually a gang of men about; she has a waist and stays; it takes a lot of paint to keep her good-looking; it is not the initial expense that breaks you, it is the upkeep; she can be all decked out; it takes an experienced man to handle her correctly; and without a man at the helm, she is absolutely uncontrollable. She shows her topsides, hiders her bottom and, when coming into port, always heads for the buoys.”

Ironically yes, Oni commented to another patreon-goer about how it'll probably be sometime early next week as he's just got a few things left to do.

Now I get it... the new update is taking so long because Oni is redrawing every girl as boats!

Ha-ha... good one. Sadly but nope. It`s Oni we talk about > it`s not gonna work)
Many others answered before I do, but I'll add it's an English language convention and although it originated from Latin, others languages descended from it doesn't share it: I know French and Spanish and for both, "bateau" (fr) and "barco" (sp) are masculine nouns and they use both masculine and feminine to name them.
Listen buddy, the best thing you can expect at this point is a new girl that does the same thing as the others every few months.Any chance internal/x-ray view is being developed?
And/or pregnancy?
If we are really lucky, one day, there might be a new outfit. Maybe.
He's definitely shooting for a Valentines day release. I'd have rather he just said so in the first place instead of stringing it along.

Spanish also uses nave (femenine), barco is just the catchall term for any boat, be it a canoe or a carrier.

Oni mentioned this as someone asked, he's touching the code up so don't expect on the initial release sadly.

As much as his code needs work, I wish he'd just focus on the art.
