RTS Deep Space Settlement (Homeworld-like)

[Ulminati]

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/ )

I am proud to present Deep Space Settlement to TIGSource! DSS is a real-time strategy game focused on empire building and grand-scale space battles. It is in development since February 2011 and is for PC Windows.

Story:
You are part of a multi-generational mission to colonize distant regions of space. Your journey brings you to a star cluster rich in resources and lightly populated. Or so it seems. Your goal is clear: setup a space settlement and thrive. Whether you choose to make allies or conquer through supremacy is up to you.

Features:

• 
  Build your interstellar empire;
  Gather resources to power your empire economy;
  Trade resources between star-systems and players;
  Customizable ships;
  Build giant capital ships supported by an armada of smaller, more maneuverable ships;
  Create huge fleets;
  Unlock new technologies;
  Unlock new ship abilities through an XP system;
  Defend from invaders and conquer new star systems;
  Single or multiplayer;
  High modding capabilities.

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.

From the looks of it I get really strong Homeworld vibes, especially those ship designs.

Too good to be true... again.
