Why I'm excited
I randomly discovered this game after the trailer hit the other day and this moved to the top of my wishlist fast lol. It looks fantastic thus far and the trailer was incredibly well done.

I decided to do a write up about why I'm excited for it: Falling Frontier Full Write Up [gaming.kylebb.com]

"Beyond the incredible graphics, presentation and sound though is what appears to be one of my oddly favorite things - a naval combat game, centered around massive vessels rather than small fighter craft and carriers. Don't ask me why... I can't explain it... it's been something that I've found just plain awesome as far back as the tabletop Battlefleet Gothic game that did not translate as I'd hoped into an RTS game in Battlefleet Gothic Armada[gaming.kylebb.com]. The feel of the ships in the Warhammer 40,000 universe were hulking, 1-5km long behemoths that have served the Imperium for centuries, if not millennia; crewed by thousands upon thousands of people. This feel was completely lost in the speed and scale of the game. The original BFG was a call back to historical naval warfare in the Age of Sail, trading broadsides and duking it out. There's none of that in BFG: Armada.

"However, Falling Frontier looks to be what BFG should have been. The game aims to make every ship feel like a massive, expensive asset and not an expendable, easy to replace unit. The goal is to make ships feel rare and precious, simply more than a pawn that you can send into battle without fear of losing. Which leads to the next major point, the additional layer of crews and officers for each ship."

I love how it is looking and am looking forward to more!
