This game looks pretty damn amazing. It's a type of game I have wanted for quite a while and then these magnificent bastards are making it.

Flagship

and trailer made from in-game assets. I can't wait.

That's something I'm interested in. Looks dope.

hmm, might be alright. I'm concerned the combat will be 2d as it appears on the bridge screen. Completely ignores the uniqueness of space battle. Although with the features it has it could be fun regardless, like sins with first person

Seems a bit like a space version of DOTA 2.

... do you even know what Dota is?

In stead of directing your monsters / fairies swarm to combat an enemy, you now seem to direct your fleet of spaceships to combat other spaceships. Like Dota 2 you can upgrade your spaceship.

To me is looks like point-on-target and let your AI thingies attack it. More overall strategy than the actual flying-in-combat. Right?

In DoTA and other similar games you only control your hero character. Everything else is automated and they pretty much walk straight and chop the first thing they see (think terrible miner AI and thats what you get).

This game reminds me of: Star Wars: Rebellion

AFAIK Full 3D manoeuvres will be there, it's just that it's easier to display and order as a 2D plane, whether that means you will only see one plane at a time or if you can switch from 2D desk to 3D hologram thingy I dunno. I'm hoping it will involve rotation as well so you can try and avoid internal damage by rotating hull.

And Peet it's nothing like Dota 2.

You could say it's like Allegiance except for instead of Commander inside a base the Commander is inside a ship and can see a first person view of the action happening.

It looks like Homeworld without the distinctive visual style.

I hope it's a good game though.
