Space Simulators

What up peeps!
I have been doing some reading about TGC and am new to these forums but I thought I would post some quick questions to see if anybody would have any recent answers.
After some searching it looks like nobody has been trying to design any space sims. Has anybody around here done it before? Because I have some questions that pertain to designing a world that is out in space and also designing the game to have characteristics such as inertia. I have already started to model ships and have some ideas for profiles and stuff like that.
If anybody knows some guides out there to get me started fantastic. I saw that there are several old posts on this subject but I figured asking a more recent crowd would help since there have been changes made to the engine.
I have experience with Maya and texturing so thats not much of an issue but for me I am new to the world of Programming.

I am trying to develope a multiplayer space sim. I am totally a noob to programming and cant seem to get that down. I finished one low rez model of one ship and now am trying to figure this whole programming system out. Are there any good books that may help?

There are also a couple of resources teaching how to make a space sim with torque. This one is for tge but should give you some good ideas on how to proceed. There's also one here somewhere, (search didn't turn it up) using torque 3D.

One of our projects is a space game. We are working on the simulation scripts. Opposite to you, I am 100% programmer, and looking for artists for the space ships. We can exchange experiences, ideas and maybe do something together.
