Precursors: Is my dream game in development?

During the time when I was playing Freelancer and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, I wished that, someday, some developer would marry the features of these sci-fi games. Just imagine if Freelancer allowed you to explore the planets you can land on? Or better yet, what if Knights of the Old Republic gives you full control of the Ebon Hawk, not just its map and gun turrets? It would be a pretty awesome game, right? Well, wait no more since an ambitious game entitled Precursors, a shooter/RPG/space-simulation game, is in development right now.

I found an interview of the Precursors developer, Deep Shadow, over at PC Gamezone. The interview says a lot of good things about this game, and I'm really looking forward to it. Here are some blurbs from the interview:

"Overall the RPG system looks somewhat close to GURPS (Generic Universal RolePlaying System), but in fact we've made our own to use in the current projects. However, the game is much more dynamic than, let's say, Morrowind, and the combat part works as in any good FPS title.”

A system close to GURPS. We'll that's somewhat refreshing.

"You will spend most of the time on the planetary surface. During your travel in the world of "Precursors" you will have to visit different planets[...]In the space you can dock at the space stations, have fun in asteroid fields, explore space ships of Alien races, but the game will go on in the meantime."

Well it's not quite my dream game since you'll spend less time in space, so there's probably little space trekking. But it's almost there. Hopefully, this will pioneer the new genre crossover: RPG/space-simulation.
