I'm not sure if you guys are already aware of this or not but as I was flipping through the december edition of Pcgameplay I came across this:
For the very few who don't know dutch (hey, if it ain't dutch it ain't much =P ) a more or less translation:
"WC3 was a milestone, not just for the space sim-genre but also in the way games were being presented. More then 10 years before mass effect, it allowed gamers to enjoy a interactive cinematic sci-fi story with real characters. After the excellent WC4 and very enjoyable Prophecy, the franchise came to a halt. EA released the 360 live arcade game WC arena and there were some rumours about a new next-gen WC being in production but for now it doesn't seem like there will be a new can of cat food to be opened any time soon. Fortunately there is the team behind WC Saga, a standalone Freespace2-mod which will tell a story parallel to that of WC3. The campaign will contain 35 missions, a dozend characters and a involving plot. There will also be a multiplayer part. "
(Text on the screen: Just like in WC3, you'll be able to land in hangers of capital ships.)
