I've seen it/played it a bit every year I go to the Penny-Arcade Expo. They've really been putting in the time to get it well polished - the crafting system is excellent, skill progression and level progression seems outstanding. As you gain command to larger ships, you cant just take on the world by yourself, as a group of frigitates can take you down if ya let 'em surround ya. Wind speed and directions realistically effect ship's speed and turning and must be kept in mind when planning an attack route on targets.
Last time I played it they were getting ready to impliment hand to hand ship boarding and combat, so not sure how that's turned out. Ports can be blockaded, taken over, etc.
So yeah, worth checking out when the public beta hits.
Ditguidice - Hand of A'dal, Champion of the Naaru ///// Soulquencher - Hand of A'dal, Knight Captain.
"I will not sacrifice the Enterprise. We've made too many comprimisises already, too many retreats. They invade our space and we fall back. They assmilate entire worlds and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no farther!"
This actually looks like a lot of fun. I'd be up for checking it out come beta.
Keep me posted if anyone D/Ls it and would like a partner to get to know the game a bit better.

Same here....I thought this one looked pretty cool. If you get any information about the beta, let us know.....Thanks.
i wonder if stitch still has a fileplanet acct... they can acces the beta today
My wife pre-ordered this and is very excited for the release. I would like to play as well. Once we know the servers, we should set up an August Knights society. Any thoughts to country affiliation? Navy? Is anyone else planning on playing?

Oh awesome! I thought I was going to be all alone. I pre-ordered and have joined forces with a few friends that I met during the beta and you're all welcome to join us.. We're planning on playing Spain on Rackham. As well, we've got ~13 people (all pre-orders) so we should have a fairly decent society production line. If we get enough people, I'd be more then happy to split off and form a full-blown AK society.
I'll post here Monday afternoon with my in game name(s) as soon as I've confirmed I can get'em.
August Knights
Secretary of War
Brewmaster
Update: Damn, no more betas. See you all in QW!
