I can make a Shellcore game. Will you help me?; Looking for help to make a shellcore fan game

To any left in this community - I'm an amateur game designer with enough skill and enthusiasm for ShellCore Command to make a fan game happen. I have limited skill and would love some help in things like creating sprites (if i can do it, anyone can), creating music/sound (or finding fitting free sounds), and overall planning of the game. If you are interested in making this a reality, please reply here and shoot me an email. If I get enough support, I'd love for us all to collectively create a fan tribute to ShellCore Command that collaborates all your ideas. Who is with me? :)

Again, my skills are very limited but just playing around I current have:
-A spawning area protected by automated turrets
-randomly spawning enemy units that take damage and fire at the player and shellcore allies
-A basic "Haven" as in the ShellCore Command game where various ships can be dialogued with.
-An empty map divided into quadrants, which are acknowledged by enemy spawn rules.

What I do NOT believe I will be able to implement:
-Customizable/editable ships
-Destructible ship parts
-More complex weapons such as lasers
-Intelligent enemy AI for warzones.
-Complex save feature. I may only be able to save a few items of data. (maybe your currency and current ship) We'll need to brainstorm a way to make this work.

What I can bring back from the original game:
-Playstyle- Fly, shoot, explore as before.
-Graphical style and feel
-Storyline continuation
-Map seperated into regions - havens, cities, bases, hostile areas with spawning enemies.
-Various enemy/ally ship classes
-Recruiting ally ships to your fleet
-Gradual increase in ship power.
-In-game currency and shops

What NEW things I would add to compensate for shortcomings (and just for fun :) )
-Every ship will be recruitable
-Upgrade to new ships (rather than assemble)
-Unique new protagonist - "Spark" is a newborn core with the unique ability to survive outside of his shell. As such, he can freely inhabit any empty shell (aka ship).
-New factions - Blue, Orange, yellow, etc... What is their role in the greater universe?
-Anything you want! Let your imagination fly, and lets make this our dream game :)

Development

I use the program "Multimedia Fusion 2" which is a simplified game design tool. It can publish in flash, or as a desktop application. It's limited as I gave spelled out above, but on the flipside it is very fast to work with making this a manageable project if I have your support :)

First off, go try to get darty to help. He already knows how to shellcore, and i think he will be a great person to help.
Secondly, I can make sprites, yet i am completely unable to code.
