Looks like this doesn't have its own thread, beta hits today so if you Kickstarted it check your Uber account for keys.

Trailer:

I've watched some of the alpha videos people put out and they seemed VERY SupCom-esque.  The idea of playing a match in an entire solar system, with moon bases and tossing asteroids at your enemy sounds really cool in principle, but did that part of it ever actually make it into the game?  In the video it seems that at least the asteroid part did, but I'm worried were just going to get SupCom on a spherical map + nukes in the form of asteroids.  That might be worth some novelty value, but it wouldn't make for a great RTS.

I didn't kick in enough to be in the Alpha, but I believe that there are asteroid bases and such, not just the nukes. There's not any space combat, though.

Got around to playing this some before the HEXOPACALYPE; I think it is pretty promising. It's really really rough right now though, it has a long way to go. Unit variety is low, there are bugs a-plenty, and keeping track of what is going on multiple planets at once is very, very difficult.

It has the issue of being priced for the console market.  (cross-platform)  So $60.  Count me out.

It's priced at the price of what you would have had to Kickstart it to get in during this phase - same reason it was $90 during Alpha. It isn't going to be $60 when it actually releases, iirc it should be more like $40 then.
