Gemini Wars is a RTS that is in development by Camel 101. Looks like a game like Armada 2526 and Sins of the Solar Empire.Checkout the website here: http://www.geminiwars.com

Sins of a Solar Empire? tryed it did not like alot of memu's i hate that its ok if you are playing a rpg but not a rts

That's one of my favorite sci-fi RTS games. I was really impressed by how it looked, the graphics were crystal clear and it's definitely in my top 10 games "evar"

SoTSE engine is a good one, shame they don't release it to everyone for free But I would tend to agree there is a lot of menu/ui work to do in that game. Least from the videos Gemini Wars looks to be pretty simplified which I tend to like a lot these days. Gemini Wars will be released later in the year so it will be nice to see what else Camel 101 does with the game until then. Wonder if they will have a beta... might have to contact them and see if they can pop in

They've released a new gameplay trailer of Gemini Wars. Looks amazing... make sure you watch it in HD! There's also a good Destructoid interview here - http://www.destructoid.com/you-are-not-ready-for-gemini-wars-194255.phtml

Sins was ok. Pretty, but ultimately shallow. No single player campaign really let the game down.

What I did notice about the previous trailer was that Gemini Wars takes a bit from Conquest Frontier Wars in that you build your buildings/command areas around the orbit of the planet. I saw this video to that shows off the power of the fighter squadrons....

Having a quick look around their website, I can see they have some very talented people on board for this. Could this be the game that could finally scratch that Homeworld 3 itch?

Glancing over the blog and its nice to see the blog updates about the individual ships being added to the game and their background.

This game looks interesting, but that teleport right in front of enemy troops of the whole player fleet in the trailer looks quite weird. No room for planning, maneuver or anything. I hope its just because its an early build.
