This is just another name for the tepid 'Privateer Remake'. They've burned their bridges here several times over - they devote a lot more time to trolling forums and engaging in open source evangelism than they do thinking about project design.
Death is also correct - in general, fan projects need to submit news to us. I do go and read the websites and forums for the ones I enjoy - Flight Commander, Saga, Standoff, etc... but if your project isn't known to us, then we aren't reporting on it. I certainly don't spent my time checking "wcjunction" for information about a project I'm not interested in.
