Ok, let's tell you about this project.
The project that I'm now beginning, is a Virtual Sea Network.
I can explain alot about it, but for example, it will be the VATSIM (Flight Simulator) of Ship Simulator. A SS multiplayer server that will run 24/7 and people can register to the network, sail, and gain "Sailing hours".
We want to make a big network for the next version of SS (that will be of course with multiplayer), that people can register, and sail at the network.
But it won't be like just a server. First of all, there will be a systems, that sailors can send sail reports, and earn "sail hours", and move up in the rank structure.
But it won't be like anyone can connect as tugboat, or pilot, or whatever. Anybody who want to be a port controller, tugboat, or pilot, must pass an exam.
Also we use a communication server that there will be main port channel (for example New York Port), and sub-channels like real world with Distress, Safety and Calling channel, Port Operation, Intership channel, and so...
And I thought to make a small program that will work with SS, that sailors can switch channels from the simulator, and report sailing hours automatically. For that, we need more people.
This is the main idea. We want to make this a professional and big network, that it won't be a playground. Everybody will use real life procedures and communications, for the most realistic sailing experience.
I'm starting to build a website, recourses, communication server, forum, and system. But of course that we need more people that help to make this network successful. From the technical people, to the staff members, everyone can help.
I've contact some admins in the forum, and I wanted to contact Vstep as well.
Now I'm just starting the basic things of the network, like forum, website, and so long, until the new version of SS will be released, and then we can start working on the other things.
So what do you thing about this project, do you think it will work?
And of course, who want to join.
