Wow, now that's something I did not expect. I guess its economic impact is something we need. Then again the initial cost of organizing a project like this is sure to be pricey, in which case, where does the money come from.
Intriguing.
ALOT Im guessing. Some guy of the british coat occupied an old wwII fort and claimed it as his own coz its in int waters.That is awesome. Wonder what the costing would be
To make it cost effective you would need it to be very very eco-friendly and make use of exsisting tech.
I think a biodome is a bad idea.
Why would they?
But I do see that most of the housing are for luxury purposes, in which case, doesn't help us that much.
For Omegatopia (working title) I would say each person looking to live there would help contribute. That and im sure you could get some of the old shit cheap fromt he russians.
I dunno something stupid. you know how the "natives" are.
I wouldn't want to live there. This seastead has to function independant of the rest of the world. If you put it in on a trade route you could have ships stopping there, create a kind of freeport somewhere in the atlantic.
I reckon the Russki's would sell you anything.

Russians try to flog their stuff to whomever.
Yeah there will have to be some crappy reason as to why it would not be beneficial to the locals. But from my point of view, its a good thing if they build it. But perhaps almost exclusively for fat cats is not a good move. As Omega said, free trade port. There we go, then at least it would increase some form of economic trade and hence boost the economy directly and indirectly from job creation etc.
Yep.
My initial idea is 8 or 9 refitted oil rigs arranged in a Hexagon with a core in the middle all interlinked with stuts or something. Then park it somewhere in the mid-atlantic as establish it as a pit stop for merchant ships.
Though this would mean it would need defenses.... maybe the ruskies would sell me a frew anti-air batteries and some anti-material mounted cannons.
