There's an Interview with Cliff Harris on The Examiner talking with the owner of Positech Studios about the game business, life as an independent developer, and Positch's upcoming Gratuitous Space Battles, as the developer also known as Cliffski explains what makes it different: "It different because it is a strategy game, whereas all space RTS games are tactical games. In all those games you play this weird fictional role which can never exist, because you are effectively multi-tasking as space captain of a dozen different ships. That makes no sense. GSB makes you the admiral, and accepts right away that in the heat of battle, you have pretty much no control over how things work out. It's a game where you design the fleet and setup the orders, but you then have to trust the real-time decisions to the AI. That gives it a totally different emphasis to other strategy war games."
