This would make such an amazing Battlestar Galactica game.

I wonder what more you can do besides stand in that one spot. Also, I hope you can go up and down.

Yeah, I want another Colony Wars game. Colony Wars: Vengeance for PS1 still looks pretty good visually, just imagine what they could do with 20 years of hardware evolution since then.

Well, Colony Wars was a Psygnosis / SCE Studio Liverpool property. So... Tweet @GioCorsi #BuildingTheList.

I was confused and didn't realize Flagship was the name of the game, so for a second I thought the company that brought out Hellgate: London secretly still existed and was releasing this game.

It's not really a first-person RTS if you still gotta use some kinda tactical overview to move your units.

Also, what happens if the enemy pilots a ship and shoots straight at the bridge?

Definitely a unique take on the concept, even if gameplay-wise it does boil down to playing RTS in the same way we always have. The presentation goes a long way here.
