apparently, theres a whole chunk of code in the game from ST: Armada 2
its like someone did a copy paste and sticked some nicer graphics on it :/
How do you know about the contents of the source code of either game? 
Anyway, I'm disappointed. I was actually looking forward to the release of this game. Good thing I read reviews before buying?
the game implements .odf files, config files, and pretty much every otheir non compiled resource in identical or near identical ways to armada 2, armada 1 in fact in many cases <weapons, weapon ordinance files, physics files, ship files pretty much>
you could take an armada one ship, convert some minor things <I really do mean minor, change the file type via exporter for the model, and texture, change some few lines, hard points and add a few to the ship's main odf, rename some things, add the lines to the ship directories, and it would be in game, less work than adding a new ship certainly>
major difference is m3d models and I dunno about the textures, I don't touch art, armada used .sod models, again, dunno textures, haven't even peaked in that dir, some building stuff has been disabled but it IS a modified armada 2 engine, which is a modified armada 1 engine, armada 2 should have been an expansion pack of armada 1, this game should have been a community mod of armada 2, <and I suspect would have been had the thing been open sourced, and certainly would have come better finished>
