Congratulation to Starship Corporation on hitting their target.

I must have never seen this one in the forums, I really like the detail the developer gets down to in this game and will be interested where he takes the game. Sounds like it will be a wee bit more complex than FTL.

I love the design reminds me of Tron and DefCon. But I fear it is too much micromanagment for my taste.

UPDATE:  The ship designer Alpha has been released:

Haarlem, the Netherlands – 30 April 2014 – Publisher Iceberg Interactive, destination publisher for sci-fi themed PC games, is proud to announce the signing of Starship Corporation. In development at German developer Coronado Games, Starship Corporation was Green-lit by the Steam community and is now ramping up for a Steam Early Access launch in autumn 2014. 

"I am very happy to announce our partnership with Iceberg Interactive for the marketing and publishing of Starship Corporation”, says David Murent, CEO and founder of Coronado Games.  “I believe their experience, especially with great space strategy titles, will be a huge boost to the final quality of the game. Their marketing and localization expertise will encourage many more players to take part in the game experience, creating even more game content and more fun for everyone!"

Fascinated by science fiction worlds, David set out to create a game where the player is able to design an entire spaceship, with the level editor as an important part of the game. In Starship Corporation the player is in control of every part of ship creation, with up to 5 decks and over 50 different rooms.

The player is able to create the layout for Spaceships and Planetary Installations with multiple decks within the boundaries of existing fuselages. The player can choose between (currently) 50 Room types in 6 categories.
