[N.B. That's not how linking works in DCForum land. See the HTML Reference link to the left of the edit window for details. --G.]It's been a long time since I posted here, but I felt I wanted to share some news with the community.
There's a crowd-funded space-simulator MMO-and-single-player game in the works for almost a year now that has completely ran away with the concept: Star Citizen, put together by a studio founded for creating this game, Roberts Space Industries.
If that name sounds a bit familiar, it's because RSI's chairman is Chris Roberts, the man behind Wing Commander, Freelancer, and a whole bunch of other space Sims.
It's been in the works for a while, but the development team showed off the work in progress at PAX East 2014, their 'dogfighting' module (which in-universe is a combat simulator) called Arena Commander.
Here's a youtube video of some of the footage, demoed by the Chairman himself.

I think I was sold at the fly-by-wire controls.
