Don't know how many of you played the fantastic though largely ignored classic sci-fi fleet tactics game "Nexus: the Jupiter Incident" on its release 9 years ago but many of the original team have reformed to create a sequel and are looking for funding on over Kickstarter.

Interestingly their next project after the original Nexus was the strategy simulation "Midway", which unfortunately was retooled by Eidos into the arcadey "Battlestations Midway" when the studio was taken over. The original concept for Midway was much more of a fleet tactics based simulator akin to Microprose "Task Force 1942" than what Eidos eventually turned the game into. It would be great if after Nexus 2 is developed the team would return to the original Midway concept and develop it the way it was originally planned.
