No, it's not anything new.

Just stumbled in to a video I hadn't seen before, hard to hear a lot of what the dev/interviewer are actually saying half the time, but the gameplay footage (which is almost 9 months old) looks awesome. The ship he flies around looks crazy.

First update they've posted on the forums in 6-7 months, but it's an update nonetheless.

OK, in the spirit of some form of information here is at least a few of the things we are working on/thinking about now. All subject to change, insert standard disclaimer here.

-"Battlespace" returning to more of its simulator roots from Classic, really a place to practice not advance. I know this will make some of you happy in that advancing will only happen in "real" space not instant action type playing. I still hope to have some achievements/leader board materials form here but not likely to have any equipment or pilot advancing type effects.

-Lots of work on missions. With the new design team map layouts, mission stories, the types of things you do in missions, etc is all MUCH more interesting and varied than ever before. The kinds of things we can now do is very advanced.

-Better faction definition. The stories in the game really tell all about your faction and why you are at war with the others. The story is also darker than before with many of the missions you fly feeling more gray than the typical black and white always doing the good thing type story.

-PvP. Lots and lots of work on systems for PvP, new maps, new game play, new forms of advancement, player built battle stations, capturing sectors, etc. The scope and feel of the massive space battles you will be taking part in against other players will be, IMHO, what really sets us apart.

-AI functionality. Tons of work on making the AI both the right difficulty (it was way to easy before) and also varied in behavior.

Once we have more solid information we'll share it.

Two more videos I hadn't seen before. Biggest thing being the newtonian flight mode, allowing you to build up speed, and then turn your ship without changing direction, allowing for strafing runs similar to a helicopter.
