Hi CC,
I'm actually very good (real life) friends with "ShipAddict"...the original "author" of the Ship Sim Magazine. He was very dedicated to the idea, but as me and him both discussed, unless a new instalment of the series comes along which is of generally better quality and success, similar to SS08, then there's no future in something like it. It's completely reliant on the input of the community, which is why I also closed down IJTS, as once SSE was released the community died on it's feet, sadly. I really do hope to see a resurgence in the community one day with a new, quality instalment; but we'll see. I'd happily venture into Multiplayer Forums and "community" ideas again if it were of benefit to a broad community as we once had before.
Jack.
