Re: work on some of my idea's with me

What you are planning to do could possibly take a team of 20, 10 years to develop at 20 hours a day each, the variables alone would be phenomenal, you would have to design your virtual ship, adding in detail and specks, then you would have to create a virtual 'planet' not an easy task as you have the details and variables for every country you want to use,

After you have designed the basic imagery, you would have to account for 'passenger movement', if you have virtual passengers, how would the react when something happens - there are thousands of possibilities, not forgetting that all this needs to be scripted so people can interact with each other... Then of course you would need some form of control and security, a back end admin control panel to be able to keep everything in check, which would probably take a sizeable team to keep in check

we have 140,000 members here, this is a simple forum and even we need a staff of at least 20 - 25 people, i honestly think it is not worth the time and effort, not unless you have a good 50 million pounds you could throw at it,

what you are suggesting is not possible on a 'basic level', it would have to be a highly advanced technical entity - there is already something like this that exists with virtual worlds, but nothing like what you suggest that i am aware of, and the reason for that is because no-one has the time nor the resources to achieve it...
