Experimental RTS/Space sim Collaborative Coding Project.
The goal is to design a game with structure/settings/balance of Starcraft and scale of Eve Online(i.e. huge space battles, space empires,etc).
Though this wouldn't stop anyone from contributing code/feedback/criticism, i'll be coordinating the project.
All code/ideas should be posted in this and subsequent threads which i'll start as needed.
step #1: We will collaboratively create a name for our project.
Each suggestion must explain why this name fits the project and why its better then any other generic name.

You're going to be working alone on this, I hope you realize.  What would you even gain by posting about this idea of ripping of other computer games to make your own?  Are you trying to impress people?  Are you looking for other people to work on it with you?(and god help you if you're asking /prog/)  Are you going to sell it?  It seems like a colossal waste of resources to me to chug out yet another copy of a game that will have nothing unique about it and will turn out crappy.  I'm not trying to put you down, but making a game is not easy.  Making a GOOD game, is hard.  Doing it on your own is impossible, especially if you have no motivation backing it up like a deadline.  This project will turn into dust before your every eyes.
