Thanks for the heads up Goblin Wizard, I'll look it up.

Edit:
Apparently it's somewhat like Space Empires: Starfury, in that it's not actually 3D but flying around on a plane. Well, crap. I enjoyed Starfury but I don't think I can't stomach another 2D sim. The other ideas are pretty good though, like being able to hire crew to man the mothership, and ship boarding combat instead of just shooting up everything.
