[edit] Inspirations
Some aspects of this game, particularly the command interface, were inspired by Battlezone and Battlezone II, by Activision/Pandemic Studios. Check out the fan forum for these games: http://www.bzuniverse.com/forum
There is also a bit of influence from the 80's classic computer game Carrier Command.
