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.
