This was very cool to see. Not to mention how the friendly ships hit each other because of bad positioning, showing that your movement matters and it won't just be whoever has the most ships wins automatically.
but friendly fire like that should never happen in reality as these ships and weapons are computer controlled mostly for accuracy and proper firing solutions. Hell right now irl if you moved a us destroyer infront of another uis warship about to fire the fire control system would warn you against firing as the IFF= identify friend or foe has detected a friendly in the line of fire. Natrually you wouldnt fire and the weapons that are automated entirely like cwis systems will NOT fire so your own crew shooting at your own ships would get you removed from cic instantly
@@TAKIZAWAYAMASHITA They fired because the friendly ship was already destroyed. You can see the escape pods ejecting and the engine going out when the first ship is shooting the rockets over it
@@AvantelWulf whats the point of firing? though even if your allied ship is going down. why help it? plus your shots were wasted and didnt hit the enemy you could have waited a few extra seconds and made those shots count on your target
Anyone else notice all the noise is basically the sounds only from within the ships? Like, there isn't any typical movie or video game 'sounds in space' but rather what seems to be the literal echos from within the non-vacuum of the ships hulls as they blow apart! Awesome attention to detail
@@GordonSeal I'd hardly call it a WW2 combat game and its much closer in scope and combat feel to the expanse than Falling Frontier. And the tech in Nebulous is much more grounded than most sci-fi combat games
@@949surferdude Understandable, it is a bit blocky. Though the steam workshop has some more interesting looking player created factions in it which is a bonus
@@WuSEification Oh, 100%. First mod is probably either gonna be Expanse, Halo with UNSC vs Insurrectionists, or Star Wars. Star Trek only if/when they manage to figure out how to make Phasers work with this system since those are hitscan and kinda need shields while this is all physics weapons and no shields.
Absolutely spot on. It's like a cross between Empire at War, Flotilla, Gratuitous Space Battles and Sins of a Solar Empire and a light smattering possibly of FTL. Truly it means that this game gets it just right
Looked like the enemy ship had a high tech gun, cause it was pretty much going tight through either of the ships, then when it got that rear shot on the one that got destroyed, it probably did some much damage cause it went right up the tail pipe and through most of the ship
That's the railgun for you. If you look carefully at the opposite side of the ship when the railgun punches through, you can see a brief flare of decompression. :D
They said that last year, and the year before that, and the year before that, and the year before that. Basically this game has been "releasing in 6 months" for 4 years now.
It's not full 3D like Nebulous. Nebulous is a real-time-tactical game fighting over a tiny map. This is real time strategy with full base building and supply lines you need to protect and a proper economy.
Cool how this fits perfectly with the Erebus mining ship from the last trailer, even the radio chatter mentions about the Caligula and the Richmond from the last trailer.
A little sad its not homeworlds full 3d space. but otherwise it is looking absolutely amazing. Looking forward to this one greatly, thanks for all the hard work.
Well, the dev tried for full 3d, but the scale is so big that 95% of the map would be, well, empty space with all the action focused on a tiny slice of it. Not to mention navigating 3d space on a 2d screen isn't the easiest even on tiny maps like Homeworld and Nebulous.
@@5peciesunkn0wn And without 3D space it just feels lame. What's the point of choosing the majesty and depth of space as your setting if mechanically and aesthetically your game only takes place on an invisible flat plane with everything else just being a background It wasn't hard to manage 3D space in Homeworld 2, if you wanted to move your ship to a different plane you just had to click twice, first for horizontal and second for vertical movement. That was literally 20 years ago and it's sad noone has ever surpassed that
Yes please. I've been keeping my eye on this one and it just keeps looking better. I'm trying to keep my hype in check, but this is just hitting all the right notes for me.
I’m not the only one who saw the friendly fire incident, right?
Definitely killed those people.
Horrible AI and optimization. If they have that on their demo you know it will be a real problem in the game. Junk. Absolute junk.
@@-Crasher. or... it means you have to actually look out where your ships are and what they do, unlike rookie rts games where friendly fire barely exists at all
What the hell’s wrong with the optimization? Game looks awesome! If you’re looking for hyper fast arcade gameplay look elsewhere. This is perfect.
@@-Crasher. looks like a deliberate design decision to me.
The effects, the looks, the background combat chatter... FLAWLESS.
Can't wait to try this game out!

This reminds me of the ship battles on The Expanse, especially with how those point defense cannons take out torpedoes.
Same here. And the part that ships have captains and crew, something that is almost universally overlooked by space tactics / strategy games for some unfathomable reason.
Anyone interested in this game should also check out the Homeworld trilogy. Third game comes out his year.
@@suddenimpulse030 Next year, another delay.
Also Nebulous: Fleet Command
BELTALOWDA!
The battle chatter and map in general are giving me huge Homeworld vibes as others have said.
Yeah, not to mention the sensor sound which might be a tad too close :D
Agree, and Im all in for more Homeworld type of games... we dont have many rts games

the fact they included a boatswain’s call over the 1MC is brilliant
It really was an awesome touch. The Navy folks will appreciate it.
This is like watching the space battles in The Expanse. Love it.
For now, Search for "NEBULOUS: Fleet Command"!
Basically, this is The Expanse game we actually need. It's amazing. Straight in my exquisite arts playlist.
NEBULOUS: Fleet Command Might be something that you would want to look into if you wanted to scratch that itch right away.
@@DeltagodAndFriends Nebulous is nothing like The Expanse. It's much more a WW2 combat simulator with sci-fi weapons and an awful UI.

There 100% needs to be an Expanse shipset mod for this game, That flip and burn is just asking for it.
Sadly, that's just a cinematic for the trailer I'm pretty sure.
Still. The weapons mechanics are basically right out of the expanse. This game is perfect for it.

You totally missed Homeworld in those comparisons.

That 2 hits to the bare side of friendly...that's court-martial...
Those crew's dialogs 🥹
Looked like the enemy ship had a high tech gun, cause it was pretty much going tight through either of the ships, then when it got that rear shot on the one that got destroyed, it probably did some much damage cause it went right up the tail pipe and through most of the ship
Looked like a railgun.
That's the railgun for you. If you look carefully at the opposite side of the ship when the railgun punches through, you can see a brief flare of decompression. :D
Could be a lucky hit on the fusion powerplant 💥
I think that was a friendly fire kill.
My heart belongs to Homeworld, but a fella can look cant he?
Hahaha yes brother you can look! But Homeworld will always find out. It always find out.
That zoom out at the end! WOW! Fidelity was amazing! Brilliant all around!
If the Expanse had a love child with Nexus: The Jupiter Incident it would probably look like this. Can't wait for the release
Damn, another guy who remembers Nexus: The Jupiter Incident. Love that game, although it is incredibly difficult (for me).
Nexus was amazing to play at the time, loved it
any fans of The Expanse? 🤩
ME ME
Atleast one ship will be named rocinante
Remember the Cant 🙎♂️
oye beltalowda
Nailed it with the presentation. Looking forward to learning more about the mechanics under the hood!
3:30 FRIENDLY FIRE FRIENDLY FIRE
That railgun shot passing through the ship got me feeling all kinds of things
Homeworld would be so proud of this.
can we take a moment to appreciate the soundtrack for this game?..
Scott Buckley is working wonders! 👏
This would be great for Mass Effect space battles
This looks to be absolutely amazing, and very developed for an early access title!
It's not an early access title. it's not even available to purchase yet.

@@QuotidianStupidity trailers are usually for mostly finished products like 80 to 90%
3:27 Houston, we have a problem with friendly fire!
Love how the ship debris stays around after the ship has been destroyed.
You can salvage the debris for resources and rescue your crew in escape pods. Or capture your enemy's crew in theirs~
This truly looks like it might as well be called "The Expanse: Fleet Battles" and I'm 1000% in.
For now, search for "NEBULOUS: Fleet Command"!
Ambience and Darkness of background makes it feel very isolating. Oddly rare for space games.
Was already looking forward to this, this gameplay footage only increases my appetite. The sound design in particular *chef's kiss*
I'm so happy our game is getting a great reception ,it was such a joy to work on.
Been waiting ages to play it
gamers always recognize passion when they see it!
Which part did you work on? So excited for it!
Lol. And what part do you think you've worked on...?
@@deckard4310 Why would they bother to answer when you ask like that? Could have potentially heard from a dev here and you ruined it.
Hopefully this will be the best thing to play while waiting for Homeworld 3
Makes me wants to play Nexus: The Jupiter Incident again, this looks dope!
We will be playing this game sometime in the next 7 months. Can't wait.
They said that last year, and the year before that, and the year before that, and the year before that. Basically this game has been "releasing in 6 months" for 4 years now.
Don't get your hopes up, this game is stuck in development hell and won't release for at least another year or two.

Love the UI. It is so clean and masterfully designed with a great color palette
What the holy fxxx !!! PDC's, Friendly fire, battle comms and railguns hammering trough the hull across decks?! Take my Money!!!
Definitely has some Homeworld vibes going on. Very interesting. I'll definitely wishlist it.
This is much better than Homeworld
@@RyanRoutine1 Settle down there buddy
@@RyanRoutine1 well...
Huge Homeworld vibes.
@@RyanRoutine1 You haven't even played this lol
Haven’t heard of this until now but hot damn that was cool.
Nebulous fleet command is gonna have some serious competition now for this type of gameplay.
idk - this doesn't look as in-depth
It's not full 3D like Nebulous. Nebulous is a real-time-tactical game fighting over a tiny map. This is real time strategy with full base building and supply lines you need to protect and a proper economy.
That friendly fire is brutal to watch.
This has been my *single most* anticipated game for like two years, by body is so ready
Nebulous Fleet command is out and it seems to be the same thing.
Cool how this fits perfectly with the Erebus mining ship from the last trailer, even the radio chatter mentions about the Caligula and the Richmond from the last trailer.
The entire look and feel is perfect
Come out already! You are killing us.
Oh man that shot up the stern gives some serious Harrington wedge-shot vibes
that enemie ship is made of plot armor

Been looking forward to this for a long time now.
Extra crispy radio chatter is very kino.
Background chatter gives it a strong Homeworld vibe.
How do you miss a target that is essentially stationary? With a computer that targets and tracks the enemy?
The Caligula dealing killing blows to its sister ship Richmond is a twist I'm not expecting.
That shot at 3:43 from stern to bow was a sNIPE
Im addicted to the whistle
@@savenok4869 SAME gives me goosebumps
We miss the little escape pods leaving the ship, it should be amazing!!!
few salvos directly hit their own ship, and explodes nice details with realism
Battleships in space, looks awesome.
The radio chatter hits just right
Looks like a fancy Day of Sagittarius 3 to me.
Getting major The Expanse vibes from this game. Cool!
Been waiting for 2 years !!!
This will produce some amazing star wars mods
wow there must be plenty of air in space for me to hear those ships
Wow they improve alot, this feel exactly like the expanse!
cant wait to see what the battle looks like with 10+ ships fighting
Reminds me a lot of the ill-fated Imperium Galactica 3 demo from a decade ago. I'm 100% buying this!
Are those escape pods that start pouring out of the Richmond at 3:20? Love that detail if so.
Yes they are. Crew in escape pods can be rescued or captured for information too
The Expanse(Serie) + Space Battleship Yamato(Anime) = Falling Frontier
That UI... Mmhmm! Golden.
2:50 - this sound almost exactly like the "tactical grid overlay zoom" sound from Homeworld 1.
Super Excited to play this!
Been waiting for this one for awhile
Can't wait for this to come out .
you know you're in space when you don't need to turn 180 heading. You just flip over to that direction.
either that moon is really tiny or those ships are GINORMOUS
Damn this looks crazy. def. a buy for me!
The Hano-class screams Salamis-class designs from Gundam UC
Finally explosions that look better then in Haegemonia from 2001
Looks like Steel Ocean and Space Battleship Yamato 2199 had a baby, awesome
When you let the storm troopers shoot the ship's guns.
Also looked like the enemy ship was punching well above its class, those blue bolts i'm assuming are MAC rounds are punching straight through them .
Love the atmosphere feels like expanse tv series and homeworld too
That Friendly Fire at 3:27 ... lol
This is very 'The Expanse' and im all for it
Can't wait for the fast star wars and halo mods.
Awesome! Just hope modern rts games have 3rd/fps control as a feature.
