    I don't know who owns the IP for TA, but I think it would be wonderful to have a new edition of the game remastered with modern graphics and a lifted unit cap. In my opinion TA is the best RTS of all time and it would be really cool to have a modern version of it!

    That's sort of the point of PA.

    Play mods to make the game more like TA, obviously I have a bias so I think you should check out Statera. :3

    However RCBM is also really good and there's actually a mod that puts in all units from TA in PA as two new extra factions by @raevn (not nearly complete yet as we are just now able to but animations in game), and in working on a separate but similar project that uses a lot of TA's unit values, but PA art.

    If I remember correctly there was some talk after Wargaming.net acquired Gas Powered Games and the TA franchise that Chris Taylor and company will make a sequel to TA but now they are probably working on World of Planes and World of Warships :)

    Sometimes there's talk of such a thing ... but making a game is hard and time consuming. It would be a really cool community project if it had the right mix of effort and skill behind it. It wouldn't have to be crazy with multiple spherical battlefields like PA. But just a back to basics RTS by and for people who "get" TA. The big question is not if it should be done, but whether or not it would have strategic zoom. I guarantee that would be the hot issue between the TA purists and the SupCom fans. :)

    Out of interest have you come across the spring rts engine? It evolved from the ta demo recorder mod, is fully 3d and features a really nice remake of ta called 'balanced annihilation'. It is multi player only though.
