Magnificentness, now that would be more of a Ghost ship concept, not the soul collecting that we've seen in the last two attempts at Ghost ships. A dead crew, although they may not know it, trying to complete that last mission, trying to find there long deceased commanding officer to report their findings. That is a good start but on the flip side, I think the last round of Ghost Ships really left a sour taste in the mouth of the community so I don't know how much of a chance this would get.
Quote: or one found adrift with its entire crew either missing or dead
from wikipedia.
I'm talking of a derelict, a ship who's entire crew has fallen to their demise, and is now completely unmanned, drifting through sirius.
A million dollars isn't cool. You know what is cool? A basilisk.

I agrea with this. Doc makes some very good and interesting points.

The way or tone of how you put it soundd like a " yeah nice idea, shame i already did it, don't copy me " kinda thing, but hey, maybei read it wrong.. but judgeing by what his reaction is, i'd say not..
I have but one question. Obviously just drifting through space will get mega boring, and because the crew is dead how will you communicate with other vessels? If your not going to talk to other people then people will just fly straight by because you won't interact with them. If you do speak what will you say? What is there to say?
I was considering maybe automated messages, somewhat akin to voice recognition now adays? Maybe the last message of the deceased captain, set to loop? The artificial intelligence giving information and specifications?
