New naval game - Sea Power: Naval Combat in the Missile Age

Dear all,

I know some of you like carriers - and some of you like them very much (don't you, Discord crowd ?)
Here's the latest effort in the category, with a new game just announced yesterday: Sea Power: Naval Combat in the Missile Age

 

In a nutshell
- It's made by guys (including one of the two founders) who formerly belonged to Killerfish (Atlantic Fleet, Cold Waters  - hence the familiar feeling) but eventually split after the release of CW and created their own, new studio named Triassic. Killerfish goes on with one of the two founders left, they have their own projects - confirmed, but unannounced as of yet ;

- It is set in the 1980s (aka the golden age of Redstorm Rising, Reforger, Able Archer & all) ;

- It is an homage to Strike Fleet, Fleet Command and the likes. Expect a modern midcore naval RTS with the possibility to control the platforms directly to a certain extent. More details will certainly follow regarding the gameplay ;

- They are further along in the development than we are with our own WW2 carrier wargame, so expect some more advanced content soon enough.

 

These are nice guys who got in touch with us very early on and were very supportive of our project - so allow me to return the favour :)
Their game is promised to a beautiful future and if you're made like me, you obviously cannot be excited by what you're seeing. Hell, Tomcats, Intruders, Vikings, Backfires... What is there not to love?

 

They have a Facebook page in the process of being set up, further info will be posted there, I suppose.

At any rate, enjoy the view ?

Crikey... that will get some peoples juices flowing!

Not me though. I'm not into the missile age.

Oh yeah, I really liked cold waters. Didn't know they split, explains the lack of updates to it.

Aye. Yes, the naval scene is finding some of its mojo back. We've been through worse times indeed.

 

Some news screens now from a live chat yesterday at Jives Turkey :)

Enjoy the love!

Naval games have been a major interest of mine recently, especially since I've been trying to join the US Navy past few months. This one looks very interesting and I've always like cold war gone hot games/movies, will definitely be keeping an eye on this.

I wonder if they'll have any of the Iowa class battleships that were reactivated in the 80s

Love that screen of the SLUF.  Takes me back!

That looks fantastic. I didn't know that the vigilante and f14 was fielded at the same time. Big jets for a carrier

Close call. One started to be fielded when the other started to get retired. They must not have met much on a flight deck. But I know the makers want to make sure that you can simulate faithfully late 1970s & early 1980s with different variants & configurations, so that might be just for the screenshots!

Can't wait for this to come out. I hope the submarine combat is similar to what we see in cold waters but hopefully a bit more in depth.

Will we even be able to control submarines/ships or will it be more of a point and click type rts?

I’ll have to check and see where this is at. Reminds me of Janes Fleet Command. I had most of the Janes stuff and still have a copy of WW2 Fighters. I re-installed Fleet Command a while back.

 

Hopefully this will be a Command Modern Operations meets Fleet Command.

 

Wonder if they will eventually do a current version with China and the Russian navy. Could also do piracy missions.
