Spoiler: Old OP (click to show/hide)

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/659943965/planetary-annihilation-a-next-generation-rts (Successful!)
If not in US (Same information as the KS link anyway): http://planetaryannihilation.com/
TotalBiscuit did an interview with the Uber guys as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqDSh34VoPY

This sounds pretty awesome. Basically, take TA, but different factions, a more recent engine, and an even larger scale (if you want, according to the description you can still have just a single planet skirmish instead if you feel like it), and a colorful artstyle, and put it together. By Uber, the guys who made Monday Night Combat/Super Monday Night Combat.

There is also Moonbases. And (planned) modding support!

Planetary Annihilation is a Total Annihilation-style RTS, but much bigger. It can involves multiple planets/moons/asteroids/death starsmetal planets (or you can play on only a singular planet, but no matter what its going to be a spherical map), two tiers of units (vehicular, robotical, naval, aerial, or orbital, you get access to the second by using the fabricators of the first tier), numerous building types (artillery, radar, orbital lasers, nukes/anti-nukes, other buildings) and you have a commander unit. You can get it from Uber's site, or on Steam if you want.

this looks.... FUCKING AMAZING im kicking starting this shit right now! its going to be the supreme commander 2 we never got

[Aklyon]

Feel free to tell me if I did terrible at making a good first post about it, scriptwolf. I am not great at advertising things.

This....my god.

This is like they took my dream game and visualized it. I feel I'm going to start drooling if I don't stop watching the video.

OP wise, a picture, a bit more of a description of SOLAR CONFLICT would be amazing. They're going to have conflict between solar systems. They're going to allow you to build engines on solar bodies and use them as kinetic weapons. They're going to simulate gravity. I'm just. I think I might burst in excitement.

Did I mention their music choice is just amazing, and the narrator is just hilarious.

[Aklyon]

Hows that for a description of SOLAR CONFLICT, Orb?

[jocan2003]

Youve got to be kidding, THAT my friend... is a win!

[Light forger]

Noooo kickstarter is going to take all my money at this rate.

[jocan2003]

Really... ROCKET on asteroid to blow up bases... man... DO WANT!!

[Aklyon]

Rocket on asteroid bases, to kill the enemy base, it looks slightly more like. Not just asteroids. The SCII Ghost will be jealous.

Much better! Needs more moon base though.

Oh wow, Uber entertainment. Very interesting.

Oh wow, Uber entertainment. Very interesting.

Apparently its an RTS team disguised as 'That company that made two team-based semi-dota FPSes'. One of them worked on TA.

[Frumple]

Hey, neat looking. Screenies also look like it'll be completely beyond any chance of me being able to run it any time in the next few years. Joyous

Does sound awesome, though. Slapping engines on astroids reminds me of strapping engines on planets in Star Ruler, heh.

I just wanted to emerge from lurking to say:

HELL YEAH

That is all...

*goes back to lurking*

I'm not sure if I can add anything at this point. I'll be watching this closely.
