First: We'll soon register our team on indiedb, but currently we're discussing about a matching team name...
Everybody who's interested in joining our team is welcome, but currently it's most important for us to find more 2D, 3D, and UDK artists.
At the moment we're ten guys, a composer, a sound effect designer, a story writer, some programmers, some 2D/3D artists, some of us can do more than one thing (I'm programming our homepage, workin on the story, sketching and designing 3D and 2D models, maybe helping on the soundtrack...)
About the game idea:
It will be a mix of 3rd person shooter (most time using crafts)
Here are some first sketches as kind of a supplement for the story overview:

the story... we're still working on it but here's a short outline:
In 2134 humans find a mysterious signal subsurface signal (still on earth). Exploring it they activate a alien robot army which destroys most of the human civilization just in a few days. All big cities except one are destroyed. This last one was able to survive because all remaining military units were concentrated to defend that city. Fortunally they can provide enough time to analyse some of the alien's technology and to use it to build a durable defense. Now humans begin to build a more effective army while the player finds some mysterious secrets...
During the first counterstrikes some physically impossible things are happening (not only to show how superior the enemy is but also it's important for the later story).
Finally to end the first part of the story, a small team is able to capture a alien spaceship. For the first time the player leaves earth. Just some hours after that another alien race finds our spaceship and helps humans to destroy the last alien robots (why they do this will be included in the 2nd part of the story, which won't play at earth but in our whole galaxy...).
In the 2nd part we (a small team surrounding the player) try to find out more about those cruel robots, but all aliens know them, but no one knows why they are here fighting us. We decide to find out more about them. Our search leads deep into galactic history...
Especially in the second and in the last part there'll be a great variety of worlds, aliens, crafts and spaceships.
Now that should be enough story for a first impression. Currently we're concentrating on the first part.
planetary the player will use a wide range of aircrafts, vehicles, ships, local defense weapons, and sometimes there are afoot missions, starting with the first part he will also be able to use spaceships (he's always fixed on a bigger spaceship, but it will have enough space to include 1-4 buyed and customizable space fighters.
