The English is a little off, but the description does make it sound good:

Things I have noticed so far watching a small portion of the video (thanks Pete):

(i) I  love that it has top and bottom armour values
(ii) 1 Fighter seems to represent a squadron
(iii) Z axis exists but still does not seem to confer any of the advantages and disadvantages I was hoping for
(iv) Visually their are no damage models - ships look perfect until they blow up no matter the damage.
(v) Graphics are basic. Reminds me of star shatter from 15years ago. But I don't mind them.
(vi) The physics did not seem like it should be for ship movement?? But I guess it depends where the thrusters are placed.
(vii) COOP is coming ... YES!!!
(viii) Not seeing any sign of how immersive the campaign
(ix) Did not see any signs of crew management or damage control models? CAG simulation??? I fast forwarded so may have missed this.

All in all I want this game even though it seems like one or two battles will be about as much replay-ability as I get out of it. Their simply does not appear to be enough variety of things to do for the player to be engaged. It seems more like, charging and seeing what happens. Ships started right next to each other. Hope all of this gets shown to be false in further streams.

For me it looks like a mod for Star Hammer. Star Hammer was good game so it is good thing but also bad, because It doesn't look like Battlestar Galactica. Battles Don't feel epic enough. Ships don't look powerful.

Was their another video? Why the massive space under your post salazarus?

The footage is from the tv show and would be hard to recreate in a game.

For me video works fine. But thanks for advice next time I will use 'share' link.
I know it would be hard to recreate in game but one can dream.

I had the same problem the first time I came here sal. It's just the way the forum software here "works". :)

First look at gameplay by Scott Manley.

Game is set during the first Cylon War, 40 years before the latest TV show.

I hate not having the true z-axis, but it sure looks great.  I am tempted.

If this game was part of an overall grand strategy setting then I would be interested.  I can play Napoleon Total War if I want real time pause-able navy war. 

I can see though that this game would have it's appeal to a wide audience.  I'm sure this will be a good game.

Spoilers at all in that preview?

They had me at "Manticore"...

I agree the game would have larger appeal if it had a grand-strategy later -- 'twould become a "must-buy" for me if it did.  As it is, it still looks pretty damn good.

I dont see any advantages of this game over the BSG Homeworld mod.
with the HW mod you have full 3d motion, full 3d armor values for capital ships, real time you can pause in solo play and and actual multiplayer game to play from the start.
