Looks really cool. Becoming a more modern style of space combat could be refreshing honestly. If you transform the combat to be like Tribes Ascend well.. it's gonna be a niche for certain people only and not completely accessible. Good work so far!
PS: For future reference, would be cool that the planets to actually feel like planets. The size of FL's planets always.. pinched a strange nerve. But that's just me.
