Vol'takes is new RTS designed with the Glyph engine created by Petroglyph to make the game Star Wars Empire at War, it has been added to Steam Greenlight http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=239319387 and with the support of all the Steam players, surely it will be incorporated into the catalog of Steam.
The game itself is in development and it will be very similar to the old Star Wars Empire at War but with some initial differences, it will run better in modern computers, we will be able edit it easier and even more because the creators will support at 100% the mods. Initially, the game will not add the ground combat because they want to do on a first step, the game more like the old Star Wars Rebellion game, although this is not a game of Star Wars. The ground combat can be added later but probably it will be different and with maps more bigger as Supreme Commander by example.
These are the main game features:
Gameplay Features
• more than 40 different units
• hardpoint-based strike options guarantee deep tactical gameplay
• no simple paper-scissor-stone mechanics
• intense and long battles with hundrets of units under your command
• plan your attacks in a huge galactic scale on long term objectives

• 5 different fractions
• 2 playable fractions

• open world (galaxy) gameplay
• player decisions have an huge impact on story development and unlock different units and allies

• tactical buffs and debuffs

• huge shipyards develop new units and heroes
• coop multiplayer with 4 players vs 4 NPC's

As you can see Vol'takes has a very similar characteristics to other current RTS but offering a level of superior playability for this type of games where you can conquer a galaxy. There are many games where you can make this but very few where you can fight a very good tactical battle mixed with perfect galactic management but not too extensive to bore. Games like these, they are very few and less were you can stop or increase the speed of the action.
Personally, the best is edit the game. This game will be able edited at 100% and easier than Star Wars Empire at War. There will not be problems making mods from Star Wars or other universes. Even the models Empire at War will run in this new game without many o no one change.
