I've recently been going through some of my old Amiga mags and remembered that when i originally saw the articles about this game i was very interested. Some of the Web pages are still running but i was wondering if this game ever got made?

Do you have any more details about it? Year it was in development? Who as developing it? etc...
If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

It was being developed by World Foundry in 1997 for high spec PPC Amigas. Vulcan were going to publish it. It looked like the game was a cross between Freespace and Frontier. A whole encyclopedia was created for it. The Web page for World Foundry can be found here with links to the game on it.
