(
http://20000above.com/) 20,000 Leagues Above the Clouds is an upcoming Indie game that features flying pirate ships, steam-punk, RPG and story elements. If the developers are to be believed, this title will play "like Baldur’s Gate meets Pirates!, with more steampunk airships."
Quote:
“20,000 Above is a game set in a world of floating islands, far up in the sky. You are the captain of an airship with its crew, on a steampunk voyage across the seven skies. You’ll find your success through missions, trading, resource gathering or piracy.
Throughout the game you will find skyports where you can dock for supplies and upgrades. Here you will meet friendly as well as shady characters presenting you with their stories. Some of them may join you on your journey. As you learn more from your conversations, you gradually gain an understanding of how this strange world is held together, and how it came to be.
You choose your own name and portrait when creating your captain. Through your actions you will also to an extent define your character’s personality – be it charming or fearsome.
20,000 Above has simple click-to-move controls with a number of added abilities based on your ship and crew. Your journey begins high over the clouds, and from your vantage point you can see ships move and interact below. When you feel ready, you progress downwards to find new adventures and greater challenges.”

Floating islands make for a neat environment. It gives me flashbacks to "Project Nomads".

Speaking of floating islands, I just wish someone would remake NetStorm one way or another already...

That initial description from OP made me think more of Skies of Arcadia, ha!
Good stuff.
