I stumbled across this, and I think it looks pretty interesting. It's currently in pre-alpha. I'm getting a definite Homeworld vibe off of it. (Site: http://dss.stephanierct.com/ )
There's some nice articles about the games design over on the official forums: http://www.stephanierct.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=7
Definitely one to keep an eye out for and for Trash or Whisky to bug for a press build when it gets closer to release.
