It'll be an early access release. From my understanding the first release is focused more on game engine for multiplayer skirmish style fighting, with future developments focused more upon the story or conquest campaign experience.

They have a public roadmap (https://trello.com/b/ZNxJIGSQ/nebulous-public-roadmap), which they've followed throughout development and plan to continue following.

There's a discord which seems pretty active, which is where the developer Mazer Ludd has posted cool gifs.

I had a real frustrating match where I used the default beam destroyers against an AI default heavy cruiser fleet on a conquest match. I quickly managed to pop one cruiser with a wave of 20 missiles aided by radar jamming. Chaff caught most of the missiles, but enough hit to kill the cruiser. Then my jammer came off cooldown, and the cruiser started savaging my destroyers. The beams and cannons seamed to do nothing as I lost 2 destroyers and my jammer. I had my last ship dump its remaining missiles into the cruiser, which crippled the guns but didn't seem to damage anything internal. Then I just followed the cruiser for the next 15 minutes continuously firing the beam point blank, not being able to kill it, as it captured points.

I've found flares and jammers forgive a lot of sins. I've never noticed someone use the anti-jamming missiles against me, more often my jammer corvettes get rail gunned and then the missiles catch me.
I'm really looking forward the the new faction with new models for each of the ship classes, it'll be fun to have more variety in actual ship design.
