This game HAD to have been designed by people who'd served in the Navy with some country; the UI and way they're presenting the game environment just screams some of the older on ship methods for presenting engagements.

One of the reason development has been relatively slow I imagine (hard to work on game design when you are patrolling the atlantic) Plus the devs seem to care about getting things done right more than getting things done fast.
@@adamredmayne1326 That would be pretty nifty, doubtful it'll happen but would love it. Audio Design especially for strategy games is so important not just for sucking you into the universe (no pun intended) but also great feedback, homeworld again a fine example. But Company of Heroes also does an astounding job at unit feedback via audio. In fact I think Coh 1 at least has something close to what you're describing? Where you can hear the combat around them via their radio calls, but I could be misremembering?
@@jaca42 Well the Devs have said NFC is set in a kind of Cold War 90's era future so even just crackly shipboard combat chatter would be excellent but that will be way down the line, more important things to focus on at the moment like the new missile update and carriers.
In that case I can really recommend Homeworld Remastered. Very similar control style, (not as refined but the original game is a bit old). The Campaign is really cool and has some great visuals and music!

It certainly has a steep learning curve. And getting into all the customizations is the same. But there is a series of detailed tutorials as well as some automatic systems to help ease players into the game.
Once you know the fundamentals it isnt so bad. It is as micro intensive as you build your fleet to be, and the most micro intensive builds arent always (or even often) the most optimal either.
understanding the games mechanics is easy, id say you can learn all core mechanics in about 1-2 hours. mastering everything the game has to offer is quite a journey though.
I just started a The Expanse RPG campaign with some friends that aren't familiar with the universe, I sent them this video as a reference for space battles
Yes, but the Neb universe has STABLE and they actually have teeth. The last time a nation in the Neb universe violated STABLE it got everyone to dogpile the violating nation.
Honestly I'd love to see a game like this on a higher relative velocity, basically have the Engagements themselves last light seconds followed by like a minute or so of maneuvers trying to line up the best pass, trying to get the best relative velocity for sensor lock whilst giving your opponent a hard time to lock, With the information streaming in after the pass as systems record the impacts and damage assessments gets made
Isn't that what Children of a Dead Earth is? May be dead wrong on that since I've only been able to play a few missions, but check it out it sounds like what you'd want!
The Expanse has much, much higher relative velocities than what this game shows. I think Halo, Battlestar Galactica, or Babylon 5 would make better fits for the pace.
@@snakeguy8646 you read the books too nice. My favorite is treason. Ar'alani and Eli are two well written characters, and I am beginning to read thrawns early life.
Shoutouts to whoever has the GTVA (aka Freespace 2) ships. If you read this, Rimmy, give the Freespace series a shot, they're probably the closest you'd have to sci-fi Ace Combat/Project Wingman, except wholly more depressing and harsh tonally speaking.
Hey Rimmy, normally I wouldn't do something like this, and the odds of you seeing it anyhow are slim, but Nebulous is having its next major update in some 19 days adding an entire new faction and nearly doubling the content in the game. I found the game through this video and now its my most played game in my library so I have to thank you for that. Its been a while since you did anything with this game, so I'm not sure if its something your still interested in, but if you are the new update could be something you enjoy!
"In space no one will hear your warcrimes" "It's only a warcrime if someone lives to tell about it" "-Shoot the escape pods -but sir what about the geneva con- -shoot the damn!!! escape pods the geneva convention is my checklist" -rimmy probably
Hmmm this is very reminiscent or the Homeworld games, not in like any major way. It is similar in the 3D combat environment but has a more micro playstyle as compared to Homeworlds macro playstyle. Maybe you’d be interested, maybe not. Even still this game is similar enough to the Homeworld series that I’m gonna give this game a try.
I got the expanse ship mod pack and I can’t tell if it’s overpowered or not. I made a Martian laser destroyer and….. Christ it’s amazing. I must be a god of ship design.
This is the crew of the DWN Rocky, we are now attempting to retrieve lifeboats, Commander Rimmy shall we follow fleet protocol for looking for enemy lifeboats or is this a no survivors situation?
I've got an old PC so I'm waiting for the dev to GET RID OF THOSE DAMN ENGINE PARTICLES. I hope it will get optimised enough for me to play comfortably again.

@@TheDownrankTrain Good, that kind of approach always leads to better results in the end.
I fucking love combat chatter. I want to fucking hear soldiers give orders and status reports in a professional tone during combat
I know right, hearing mayday calls being answered by everyone is awesome as well.
Dude if you love that stuff, I HIGHLY recommend you give the Homeworld series a look. The units in those games have some great combat dialogue.
@@jaca42 Homeworld is awesome but i'd love an even more in depth audio when you select ships, hearing people yelling commands, running feet ect.

"Go away jammer nerd." Gets team bombarded by several missiles. Talk about a cautionary tale.
That was some hilarious dialogue honestly, glad to see the in-game chat actually used for something good.
xD
It's nice to see that HOMEWORLD's system for navigating 3D "space", and its realistic radio chatter haven't gone to waste
I really like the way movement is portrayed and the audio absolutely is brilliant at making you feel part of the action
Especially with what happened with Homeworld 3's embarrassingly bad everything
This is a good old one though. Id be down to see a proper campaign with a real story in this!
It is coming
Never seen it, so new to me; I gotta check it out, seems fun.
One will be here in time!
In that case I can really recommend Homeworld Remastered. Very similar control style, (not as refined but the original game is a bit old). The Campaign is really cool and has some great visuals and music!
@@Crybaton I bought the whole collection. I definitely play to do a whole playthrough before Homeworld 3 comes out.
I like how Rimmy and Sam named their ships playfully, but Pug made two Dream SMP references, and then got Rimmydownunder killed.
"In space, no-one can hear the napalm."
@Machine Ambassador yes
I don't think Napalm would be great in an oxygen starved environment tbh, it kinda needs it to burn

They came. And they came in hard. All hail the SGM-H-300
Watching others play this game is alot of fun. I'd imagine playing it is a micro nightmare. I hope you make more vids on it
So I've played the game. It's shockingly not too micro intensive. In fact, the devs deliberately tried to remove micro tax equipment

Super reminds me of space combat from the expanse, kinda dig how slow and methodical things are.
exactly, I even thought it is an expanse game at first
It’s only a war crime if you get charged.
And I think we’re outside the jurisdiction of any blue helmets.

If blue helmets are nearby, wear your own so it still isn't
Its fun and games until UN fleet from expanse shows up

@@zubbworks I guess Turn based would be one way to make it work,
and @Jinxy Darkie I'll check it out thanks,
Strategy/RTS games with full 3D environment are such underrated yet unique games
I just finished a gamenight of this fantastic game and can now watch Rimmy play it too. Life is good.
was expecting the Southern Keep to make an appearance and raise itself from the dead multiple times
It's as if Children of a Dead Earth was an RTS and the engines are a hell of a lot better.
This could totally be flavoured to be a The Expanse licence and itd work spectacularly well
The Expanse has much, much higher relative velocities than what this game shows.
I think Halo, Battlestar Galactica, or Babylon 5 would make better fits for the pace.
This and CMANO stress me the hell out, especially when you got incoming vampires and you’re trying to spoof or intercept the incomings.
4:25 onward, someone's a big Freespace fan :D
I absolutely love watching these Nebulous videos and watching you guys play it on Twitch! Definitely looking forward to more of this!
Love the NEBULOUS content, would love more!
I've been interested in 3D strategy games ever since Homeworld. Just like that game, the comm chatter from the ships in this is just that extra touch.
This game reminds me of reading the thrawn books, the level of dynamic fighting and elevation is amazing
“Lt. Hammerly?”
“Missiles away sir!”

I'll second that, they're great games
This reminds me of space combat from The Expanse but without plot armor
Something tells me rimmy and the gang are really gonna love the upcoming custom missile update
More please, I can't get enough of the endless waves of missiles
That first battle was sexy AF. Good on CosmicEradicator for sticking it out.
In space, no one can hear your war crimes is the theme of quite a few of my favorite games.
The ship designs remind of the ships in the series "The Expanse". Really Cool
There is an expanse mod that is underway
"this is chaos"
Did somebody say... CHAOS?!
ALRIGHT, FIRE!
*exterminatus noises intensify*
Another Nebulous video, les go
I don’t have anything clever to say, take some cash.
it's okay when you have nothing clever to say just spam emotes, it's how twitch chat works

Can't get enough of this game. Keep playing and keep showing the world how awesome this game is!
You convinced me to buy this game in the first video, now I really want to get gud.
Love this game. It NEEDS a full campaign. And the ability to have modded ships down the line.
Modded ships already exist! There're a whole bunch of MCRN ships from The Expanse, check the main discord!
I know this didn’t get very many views but it was very fun to watch you play, would love more in the future.
Rimmy's videos are some of the only ones I can watch on repeat without getting bored, still getting entertainment value from that stellaris video
It will come about release and will include a dynamic campaign with an over map, sort of Company of Heroes 3 style
This marks the 3rd or 4th time I've rewatched a video on TH-cam and it's all been on your channel. Love the content bro.

It's games like this that make Aliens worry about the time we finally create void fleets.
Great content on one of my favorite games, period! I hope you get a video out once the Missile Update comes out
This is exactly how space combat is depicted in the Expanse
im not sure i know what im looking at, but your battle chatter makes it exciting lol.

Modding IS a thing already, my guy.
And it is beautiful.
Whoever was on the enemy team was a fan of Freespace 2, those are all capital warships from that game.
You may not hear them, but you can see them
The space Geneva does not cover half of the acts in this video
"Spyglass? Sounds like ElInt"
Sounds like MK Ultra to me
this is such a cool game. I have started playing and im still geeting use to moving the ships around, aiming and some of the other mechanics
watching his videos really help me with my fear of severe storms
The title is accurate, because whenever I play I have a nebulous command of my fleet
good to see this game getting some love
So this is basically The Expanse the game? I am so down for this.
Looks like CosmicEradicator was a Freespace fan.
Would love to see more of this game from you folks, lovely gameplay.
God damn this game is every Sci-Fi nerd's wet dream. Have never wanted to get a computer so bad before.

this game is exactly what i need after watching The Expanse.
