I'd like to see them develop a game similar to the great old Amiga title "Carrier Command" using the Battlestations Midway engine.

The original Carrier command was actually originally designed as a ww2 strategy game but the sytems of the day (C64 Amiga Atari ST, Spectrum, CGA PC ) were not really up to throwing a lot of polygons on the screen so a decision was made to set the game in the future. This allowed the devs to make ships in whatever shapes they wanted with as few polygons as they wanted.

With longer engagement ranges and a bit more realism BSM could be a truly awesome title.
