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.

Hmm, maybe we will get one based on Full Thrust, maybe with support for DS2
and SG2?
