Something that might be of interest. There appears to be a trend in
computer gaming at the moment for designing starship combat games.
Homeworld, Starfleet Command (based on SFB). I suspect theres more I
haven't heard of. Admittedly most of these seem to be based on RTS
models
but they might be interesting nonetheless.
A new one I just saw a preview of was the RIft. Details on this are
available at www.ogr.com or the games designers at www.thrushwave.com.
Supposedly there will be large scale fleet combat with hundreds of ships
formations, control of squadron commanders and captains. Sounds
interesting.
