I actually got the demo for this the other day. (The demo has greatly reduced graphics from the full version as far as I can tell.)

It's a nice mix of realistic/arcade physics. Actually, you can choose between the physics engine: arcade, semi-realistic, and "realistic." I'd rate the realism as that of a mid... maybe late 90's flight sim if it wasn't too high end. Fun though.

Yeah I'm already excited.

The screenshots on the homepage look quite nice (no match to Diaspora though  ) and I hope the BSG models are at least decent. I don't like the Galactica in the videos I've posted but the other ships don't look too bad if you ask me.

I'm not too worried about the physics. After playing Orbiter I don't think you can call any of those games a real sim. But I don't really care about realism (in space games) as long as the game is fun.
