New Universes

Hi Chris,
First off I would like to thank you and every one else that contributed in making Celestia.
Anyway I have noticed that it seems like a lot of people want to make their own universes. So far I have seen ideas for Dune, Star Wars and Star Trek. So I was thinking you might want to add a little more structure before it gets out of hand. The general idea is to create a Universe Directory; in this directory you would have a separate directory for each of the universes (Dune, Star Wars, Star Trek, etc..) the structure in this directory would be the same as the existing structure, this way people can build their universe without affecting the real one.
As an added benefit you could have all universes active, but place them in a hierarchy to have certain universes take priority over other if there should be a conflict.
Right now I would recommend two sub directories for Celestia, one called “Real”( Place all the earth ship models here) and the other called “Fantastic” (this would be an open internet collaboration of people willing to make a fantasy universe, that dose not exist in book or movie, if it did it would be its own universe)
