[TEC] Controllable Surface Ships?

Hello All

I'm new to Silent Hunter and to Subsim.com, but so far I like what I'm seeing. This forum seems to be full of very courteous and helpfull people. Anyway I'll get to it, I've been playing SH4 for about a week now. I've done some tweaking here and there but nothing major so far.

My question to you experts is how hard would it be create a playabe surface ship on a scale of 1 to 10..

I've gone over the many of the threads that have to do with adding new ships and porting SH3 ships into SH4. I've also read some that go into detail about adding SH3 Subs to SH4. I know you guys have been asked this question many times before but I'm really serious about this.

Whether the ship can be ported in, cloned, or built from scratch I would love to make an attempt. I've been modeling in Max for about 5 years and I know I could model and skin a basic DD or Merchant. I've done some modeling for a BF2 mod and a few aircraft for FlightSimulator2004. Where I would need lots of help is the techinical things like how the interiors work, crew placement, how the damage modeling works, and things of that nature.

My end goal would be something on the scale of a light cruiser. I just want to be able to ambush a convoy at 5-10km away with some big guns. I know there are many other people on this forum that are interested in the same thing.

If we can get Subs into SH4 we can get surface ships into SH4.
