The Second Antarean War is a multiplayer team-based real time strategic battle simulator. It simulates battle between spaceships in fully accessible 3d space. As an admiral, you can call in different types of ships for different situations. The game aims to be played against other people, not the game itself. The 3d navigation, order queues, smart orders and no limits on build queues aim to hide the visible user interface completely and allow you to focus on the battle at hand. You can join any battle in progress at any time. Some battles start small and grow in player size and in their importance to universal scale. The universe is persistent. Each battle has an impact on how well your faction does. Winning battles progresses the war and earns you medals, rank and respect from people you play with and strikes fear into players you fight against. Good hunting.
A cool thing I did with the info panel is adding the stats to produce an aggregate view of the selected group. In many other games when you select a group of units it just shows you their icons and maybe their health bars, in 2aw I did it a little differently: Instead I aggregate the stats, meaning all stats of the whole unit are combined to give you the stats of all the selected ships. So you get the total cost of the group you just selected, total damage per second (DPS) and total hull + shields (the two "health" bars 2aw units always have) This gives some interesting game play/strategy implications: For instance you can select the full force of your group and see how much DPS they deal and compare their health to that of the enemies. Health/DPS gives you a rough number of seconds the fleet would deal damage until they are destroyed. The info panel also tells you the speed, you can look at how fast the group is, and the one you want to catch relative to your group and see if you would able to catch them.
