I'm really digging how these ships turn on the spot. It's like C&C red alert.

That may be the best trailer I have ever had the pleasure of watching. Looks damn fun too.
They've got my money.

I was just telling someone earlier today that Paradox Interactive is probably my favorite publisher, as they seem to put out all these low-budget but brilliant games. If I look at my hours played on Steam, 2 Paradox titles outstrip all my other non-MMO games in hours played.
That said. This looks so awesome on so many levels, my mind is fucking blown.

Five Challenge missions that can be played with up to 3 other players

Gotta remember that CatalystISdoing a game with ships in the sky (more steampunk but still) so that's the reason for that tongue in cheek reference, and it's based on the tabletop version.

Though my first thought was that this was a PC game version of Dystopian Wars (at least the naval portion), but oh well.

If the game play is essentially GSB, or any of the ship-design-fight minis, then I'll buy simply in recognition of how awesome that trailer was. Seriously, if that advertisement was made in house, the guy who came up with it needs a promotion.
Edit: Pausing in the armor screen--seems like it is a table top derivative, as in you get points for customization--and of course each option affects overall ship performance. Which is great--that kind of design is my favorite in RTS and Standard strategy games, I love designing units given X budget and seeing how they do vs Y player.

As a huge fan of the Naval Ops series, I am definitely interested. Not as arcade-style as the KOEI games but still fun.

When I watched the trailer yesterday, the first thing I thought of was a more detailed version of Chimson Steam Pirates from iOS.

Which I enjoyed quite a bit, personally.

Played a few hours and have quite enjoyed it so far.
The campaign is rather challenging actually and I've already lost twice. I guess there is a fixed difficulty and it is co-op-able... or that is just my excuse for sucking.
In the campaign so far you are limited in what you can put on your ships as far as your "rank" in the campaign, but if it is an indication of what is to come I think the options have to rather nuts honestly and the "how to build the best ship" arguments could be rather interesting.
My only complaints so far is that it feels a little "information light" on the PC version due to it being touch-pad compatible. I keep wanting to right-click for more info or somthing. Also I want to see the wrecks of the sunken ships under water like in old Total Annihilation, I was a bit sad they just disappear after a few seconds.
