And below, silent and deadly, submarines stalk their targets, torpedoes at the ready. Command your fleet and your Steampunk crew using an elegant action interface.

I agree with your impressions of the game, BTW. Plays like super polished mash-up of Pirates and Flight Control, with stats for individual crew members and RPG style turn-based combat for boarding. I love it how the abilities "travel" with crew members, so that you need to be judicious about who you assign to what ship (you can't repair a ship if you don't had an engineer on it, for example). So far it seems like one of those easy to learn, tough to master games that are just about perfect on a portable platform. killercow Well-Known Member Apr 8, 2009 3,784 3 38 https://twitter.com/killercow #10 killercow, Aug 31, 2011 The game plays really great with a funny story. It's a really simple mix of strategy and action but with different kind of missions to keep things fresh. But i just can't stand the music, it's just the biggest rip off of the pirates of the Caribbean's soundtrack that i've ever heard... mashead2000 Well-Known Member Jan 22, 2011 1,144 0 36 Manager-Retail York - United Kingdom http://Www.YouTube.com/user/mashead2000 #11 mashead2000, Aug 31, 2011 added a gameplay video only of first level and apologies for reflections lol usually wait till its dark Misguided Well-Known Member Jan 27, 2009 2,346 19 38 #12 Misguided, Aug 31, 2011 Saw it at PAX last week. Looks great. 8 missions free, 8 more for 1.99, and a third set in planning. The game is dripping with atmosphere. urk Member Aug 30, 2011 7 0 0 http://www.bungie.net/projects/aerospace #13 urk, Aug 31, 2011 Harebrained put together a bunch of back story for the game. They're a really interesting group of developers led by Jordan Weisman, the guy behind Crimson Skies, Battletech, and dozens of other fun thing like Batman's "Why So Serious?" campaign and NIN's Year Zero. http://harebrained-schemes.com/crimson/world/ Great to read some positive comments early. I'll keep dropping in to check on the thread. If you have any questions, feel free to send them my way.

I was told this is NOT the same universe as Crimson Skies, but certainly the influence can be seen here. squarezero Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Dec 10, 2008 13,716 1,240 113 Male Chief Strategy Officer Salem, Massachusetts, USA #19 squarezero, Aug 31, 2011 Welcome to TA, urk. urk Member Aug 30, 2011 7 0 0 http://www.bungie.net/projects/aerospace #20 urk, Aug 31, 2011 Nope, he was out of town. It's definitely not the same universe, but like you've said it's infused with the lighthearted and playful Dieselpunk dogfighting pirate sensibility that you might expect from the title and creator.
