I'm doing a demo that will serve as a proof of concept for the ideas below. One "level" that combines orbital combat with a short land mission. The game is called "Mystic Space" so far. It's Space Fantasy, with an emphasis on the Fantasy. You fly around in spaceships powered by magic, fight with other ships, and do land based missions on fantasy worlds or other settings that let you get out of your ship and do a quest. Space itself works much like space does in our universe or a scifi universe- low or micro-gravity, radiation, asteroids, vacuum... the whole 9. The difference is that people solve the problems of spaceflight with magic instead of science. That part is similar to Spelljammer, but there are no space boats or ether. Space is space, except that magic exists. Each planet will represent a different flavor of fantasy. For example, in the demo, I've got a Steampunk Pseudo-Victorian culture fighting an ancient world, Golden age culture (My Morningstar campaign setting as I've been re-imagining it)There's more about the setting on my blog (in my sig), so I'll just post a couple of pictures with commentary. <img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yAcCJToIUvU/Sa_gZ6FDYzI/AAAAAAAAAB4/5jIajB29RFI/s320/PECEFrontRight.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />This is the steampunk ship. I haven't modeled its pilot yet. It's a P.E.C.E  (Pugilistic Ether Conveyance Engine) class ship. It's tough and lumbering. the culture it's from doesn't think of its mad science as magic, but the ship will have things like a shrink ray, a teleport beacon it can drop and return to, etc. It's definitely magic. <img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yAcCJToIUvU/ScCf7Htej0I/AAAAAAAAAEA/1EdvT8auyak/s320/AstralTalonSoar.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />This is the Astral Talon. a construct powered by the spirit of an eagle, it uses the purple crystals for thrust, and the red ones for its Eldritch bolt attack. The sphere in the large talon is the cockpit. It's a fast and maneuverable ship that will have the ability to go insubstantial and invisible for short periods of time (phase astral), and a powerful attack where the animating eagle spirit leaves the ship to attack the enemy. <img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yAcCJToIUvU/Sct-MjmRBJI/AAAAAAAAAGI/qqLrAI2Og4U/s320/DeandraLeft.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Here's the pilot of the Astral Talon, in progress. Her name's Deandra. One last picture for now. <img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yAcCJToIUvU/ScK5RFGgEgI/AAAAAAAAAEY/TFdhHmU3sLs/s320/Whalien1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />This space whale (Tanin) and its calf are part of what the ships are fighting over. The Pseudo-victorian culture hunts them for their parts, and the golden age culture reveres them as spiritual beings. It's not so black and white, though. Anyway there are more pictures and more information on my blog, and I'll definitely reply back to this thread. If you want to see more pictures, let me know.</blockquote>
