How cool would it be to be able to play on that cruise ship in the game we all love? This ship is actually a gated community, but it floats. It costs a FORTUNE to live on it, but it has it's own movie theater, resturaunts, shops, and even a grass putting green! This ship, 'The World' would fit perfectly in 'The Ship'. What do you guys think?

Wow Kinx!! Total conicidence! I got first post and your my best Ship Buddy!! I didnt even realise it was you! Welcome to the forums!
Looks to me like 9 decks.

And about 1/2 a mile long.

That would be HUGE!!!

As fun as it would sound it would take like 30mins to find your quarry.

I also dought the source engine could handle it. It had difficulty with Cyclops..

Would be good in real life.. Except for all the REAL killing.

They COULD size it down... a lot. I like the idea =)

It's 196.35 meters long

I think it's 12 decks, but like Cyclops, it has a few crew decks and engineering decks.

Exactly! It doesn't have to be EXACT. I mean.... let's take cyclops. There's like what 20 rooms? What cruise ship only has 20 rooms?

I reckon if there's a The Ship 2, then the singleplayer should just be on one MASSIVE ship like this one, where you run around doing quests, hunting people, solving puzzles, etc in an adventure/role-playing game sort of way.

That's what I am hoping for as well for TS 2.
