Real time strategy game set in space. It's based on Homeworld and Nexus: The Jupiter Incident. It differs from most modern RTS games in that the focus is on management of resources and assets, rather than production; it's more about how one uses what they have, rather than who builds stuff faster. I say RTS, but there is also going the be the capability to set regular pause phases, essentially making it turn based if one prefers.

There's a gameplay demo. Here's some footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3b3d9t2zoa0

The video looks like they should rename the game to Swarms 2214.

There are several types of missiles for different tactical objectives, as well as closer range phasers/lasers. Ships have ECM, and can deploy drones that also have either ECM or range/targetting enhancers. It's planned that ships are fully customizable.
