Re: Games Discussion Thread
One thing that was only tangently mentioned re: underwater city. I believe that the statistic is that 33 feet of water is equal to 1 atmosphere of pressure. Assuming that the maximum depth of the US Atlantic continental shelf is 200 meters, and that the city is anchored at 150 meters, the city would experience approx. 15 atmospheres of pressures. This is not an insurmountable problem, but it is something to consider.
