"Starship Corporation is a Realtime Strategy Game that contains 4 Elements:

Ship Design
Crew and AI Tactics
Ship Building
and Trade
The player is able to create the layout for Spaceships and Planetary Installations with multiple decks within the boundaries of existing fuselages. He can choose between (currently) 50 Room types in 6 categories .
A completed Design can then be challenged by playing a series of missions to test the crews reaction to emergencies and the ships combat capabilities. The success of these missions determines the ships rating, important for a good price on the market or the ships performance in your own fleet."

This site must have just launched as I've never heard of it and the forums are pretty empty, but there's some sizable content on here.

It looks largely finished already.

How can I give them my money?

There's also a $10 simple preorder. You can get to the paypal preorder from the main website, under "The Project".

I sure hope they don't get $16,000.  I'd rather have a fun single player game in January than a crappy multiplayer game in March.

EDIT: Actually, their multiplayer game idea is pretty interesting, I wouldn't mind the features they're suggesting.  I can totally do without the "storyline" they are suggesting at the next funding level, however.

[Lap]

I am kind of worried that the multiplayer part will end up like any old browser based space strategy, but there's really not a lot of info on more specific game mechanics.

[head]

hmm , made in gamermaker.

[Frumple]

Nothin' wrong with that!

Except maybe OS conflicts or whatever. Still, there's been a solid handfull of good games made with the thing. Take th'game on its virtues instead of its programming base, heh. Unless the latter outright prevents you from enjoying the former. That always sucks

[jocan2003]

Thats a very interesting game concept and im sure to watch it develop and throw money at my monitor... errr them!

[Android]

yeah this sounds really cool, i look forward to this one being completed

[Catastrophic lolcats]

I find it funny that games tend to go through a "drought" of a genre (in this case space ship management) and then suddenly have a boom. Hopefully the modern warfare/third person cover shooter bubble will burst so we can have some decent shooters 

As for the game it looks fairly decent. I'm more fond of the "arcade" style of space games however, like your SPAZ.

[kulik]

It's looking good.

Shame that they used healthbars. I would like to se more games where makers approach the health in more "DF"like way.

[EuchreJack]

Yeah, but then no character could survive combat for long.

...and most games are made in the time and with the same effort put into the DF "health" system.   

[Orb]

This looks great, and with such a modest goal, I hope it gets funded. I'll certainly be chipping in.

Though I'm a little confused. For the 'kickstarter', are they only perks, or do they include the game?

[MrWiggles]

This seems to be his very first game, and apparently his first coding project.

So, this is going to such so very very hard. And what we've seen thus far, is very well picked to make the game appear strong.
