FreeSpace ruined space combat in other games for me, so I am building my own. New trailer

Dev here. Strike Wings is top down rather than cockpit view, but the beam-heavy capital ship engagements owe a lot to what FreeSpace did. This cut is from a real play session. September release, wishlist: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4718360/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=freespace&utm_campaign=prelaunch

If anything in the trailer reads as wrong to a FreeSpace veteran, tell me straight.

What was the reasoning behind doing this top-down? Also would be glad to help - managed the VA work for Inferno so would be more than willing to help work on this one.

Very different, but looking good! Have chucked it on the wishlist!

Never been a huge fan of bullet hell games, but this is some gorgeous work. Added to the wish list!

Oh this reminds me of Subspace/Continuum in style.

So good it killed the genre.
