Oh i do remember having a slight hype about it, but soon forgotten, i like this genre but it's not even a priority. I would love proper Rebel Galaxy 2 or Freelancer but with capital ships (which Rebel Galaxy exactly was to be honest). I have few interesting space sims on wishlist, but now that i looked at the dates literally all of them seems to be in dev hell, though not even ankle deep in SC-like bog.

Breachway is supposedly releasing this month, though after multiple delays and it's a roguelike more like FTL but i played demo and it was fun.
