RSI Propelled Further Into The Future (September 16, 2012)

The Description of the engine mentions collecting hydrogen fuel from space. That sounds kind of like the ram scoops from Wing Commander.

I wouldn't read anything into that; hydrogen ramscoops are a sci-fi staple. You see them all over the place (take the Enterprise-D for instance; that's what those glowy red bits are on the front of the warp engine nacelles).
 
While I agree that at least at the moment Chris is likely building this with the idea of having it as a new IP, I can't discount the possibility that maybe he is possibly hoping to turn it into a Wing Commander project should EA come around to the idea. Still, all these little tidbits are definitely adding to what I would call the "Wing Commander flavor" of this new project.
