Anyone here know about physics? II

Ok, so last time I asked this question I had some pretty crazy and hard to understand answers, from John Doe in particular. I have a more generic question this time, but still relating to time dilation.

I'm curious to know, how fast would a ship have to be going to get a 1:600 year ratio. I'm thinking a ship going at x speed travelling around for three months, and getting back to Earth to find that 150 years have passed. What is x. If it turns out that that ratio is impossible, then if x is 99/100c (99% the speed of light), what is the time dilation ratio.

If you're assuming the twin paradox thought experiment it would be more complicated than just a factor of x. Ok... say you have two twins on the ground. Or two watches synchronised exactly the same. Put one of them on this spaceship and fly it away, are you thinking about how fast the ship would have to go in order for the twin on the ship (say, Twin 1) to age just one year while the twin on the ground (Twin 2) ages 600? If so, the ratio would be denominated by how long Twin 1&2 were seeing red shift as opposed to blue shift - ie how long and far Twin 1 was accelerating for. Actually, I'm withdrawing myself from this conversation - last time I joined one of these I got called a ****ing jackass.

Damn... 1:10? That's not nearly enough for the scenario I'm trying to create. I trust your maths, and I don't have a scientific calculator on hand to work it out easily myself.

I hate having to bend science to fit my stories.
