Basicall, combine a Wing Commander-style flight engine and physics (ships fly foreward and use afterburners, and don't strafe, and no on-the-fly upgrades) with a Descent-like setting (anyone remember how great playing Descent I was?)
redwood city? that aint far from my house... hrmmmm roll up in the beer truck to distract them.... leave doors open... do some recon...
Also, there's a source mod that specifically mixed FPS gameplay and space combat. The main thing that really kept it from working for me was the space combat controls. Other than that, the mod is a definite proof of concept. I can't say whether the two distinct sides of the game melded that well ( I don't think they did really) but it goes to show that FPS engines certainly can work for space combat.
No, just... no. There's a reason why I bought every Wing Commander game and never bought any Descent game.
I remember having alot of fun playing the Descent series. I thought it was a great premise. What didn't you like about it?
There's probably not much you can draw from the actual word 'RedLime'.

Sadly, I'm afraid I have to play devil's advocate here and guess Ultima. Seems to me that EA would see a potential cashcow in a revamped Ultima MMORPG. Might even compete with WOW if they do it right.
Of course, this is the pessimist in me talking.
If it is indeed WC, I'm mildly concerned about the changes insinuated. Nothing would ruin it for me more than 3rd person ship view and no joystick controls. Well . . . I take that back. Doing something horrible with the universe and storyline would ruin it for me, too.
