Zero-k: A libre sci-fi RTS game, with an economy based on metal and energy
Seems the support would be a realistic feature, though, because it's based on https://springrts.com/ that does support MacOS X.

springrts: Designed for 3D rts games. May be worth looking into if that's what you're making. The site is kind of lack luster so I didn't do too much digging around.

What is your favorite open source Linux game? Mine is Wideland (Best way to describe is the way Settlers 3 should have been)
My current favorite is Beyond All Reason. Before BAR, my favorite was Zero-K. Both BAR and zk use the same game engine, SpringRTS. BAR and zk are very similar to one another, and they're successors for Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander.

What older video game holds a special place in your heart?
Total Annihilation for sure, the spiritual successor Supreme Commander is great but a bit too different for me. There's an open source recreation that's a bit rough to learn at first, but it's my favorite game of all time called Spring RTS. https://springrts.com/

Game Engine Development.
The other thing is that if you're going to make an engine focused on rts games, you should probably study an existing RTS-focused engine. For example, here's the source code for Spring. Learn what it does, why, and how. You might decide this is good enough for what you want to do. You might decide this is pretty close, and you'll only want to extend it rather than start from scratch. You might decide to still start from scratch, but at least you learned something about requirements/ methods/ etc.

Looking for a RTS game like Zero-K
Pretty much any game on the Spring Engine (which Zero-K is on) will work on Linux.

Is there any game where you can design your own weapons/vehicles?
It is more an RTS than a 'classical' wargame, but you could do it in Warzone 2100. It is old for now (but it was very fun in 2000s). It could be fun for you today. There is a free and open source version : https://wz2100.net/ .
