Look for the book Star Ship Simulation by Roger Garrett - Dilithium
press, it is a very well thought out full-fledged simulation idea (no
real code, just a complete (I think) system structure for all the
'stations') Back then it would have been a monumental task to get all
the computers and newtworking worked out but now it would be nearly a
cake walk.

Click in the 'star screen' for a real star-ship bridge.
Yeah, that's what gave me the idea. I would add a few improvements:
* It will require a group of people. This will encourage teamwork and
role-playing among the players.
* It will be much bigger. Think NCC-1701-D bridge.
* Things will move, shake, and explode. Yes, you'll have to sign
a waiver. No, it won't be handicapped-accessible. That said, risk of
injury should be minimal.
* An entire colleciton of classicmp hardware running most of it.
