      And I have lifted one of your concepts and used it for my
      bigworld/smallworld model (in my head only). Unlike the solar
      system, I have visualized one fantastic planet, where sectors from
      the bigworld are mapped into the individual smallworlds. I am weak
      on the implemention model here except for some fuzzy think stuff
      floating around and trying to find out more about the world cells
      that BigWorld (tm) uses.

      I am not entirely sold on P2P, but at the same time I see a need to
      move to at least multiple node servers.
      
      > 2) 3D front end - Quake, Unreal, or other moddable game with

      Lots of candidates so I won't highlight any except to mention
      Unreal. There are three approaches to doing a project with Unreal.
      First, there is the Unreal 2 runtime that includes Unrealscript
      source and is free for non-game use. Epic games also hints that
      they might license the header files, but good luck in actually
      getting those files if your project even sniffs like a game. The
      other approach is modding Unreal Tournament 2003. Lots of good
      stuff in the Unrealscript. Finally, if you have $750K-850K AND a
      solid development team, Epic Games may give you a full license.

      Could also have navigation aids such as earcons for audio feedback
      or beacons that light up in certain regions based on searches. For
      example at a high level, I could search for "orcs" and see which
      part of the landscape contains orcs. Or I could move my mouse over
      an orc region and hear orc sounds.
