I have been working on this topic also.  After working on a 2D version
of
FT, I decided
that it would be much more fun to have a 3D version.. at least a 3D
point of
view.

What I'm currently using is a Quake 2 compatible engine with no level...
just models floating
in empty space, with a surrounding backdrop for space.	 Planets and
asteroids will also be
solid models, so in the event of bad piloting (and I speak from personal
experience) you can
try and use them to... um, alter your course!

If anyone out there has done some quake modeling , and would like to
help
create some ships,
please let me know.
