Look, it dosnt have anything to do whit any other bay12 game. And Toady dosnt work whit filthy capitalists no mater how awesome games they make.
It is, in fact, a scifi sim, just like DF is a complete open ended high fantasy world simulator, the month end project is a complete open ended space opera simulator. that is, it will simulate the trajectories of every star in the galaxy, and it will have giant starships you can design, and then walk around talking whit the individual crew members or so anything, and it'll have features beyond your puny mortal comprehension.
It will be Beyond Quality.
remember, DF is paid for by the people who play it, not some company or government, meaning this is the ultimate form of capitalism
