OT: perfect tactical combat engine: footage here

[Raapys]

It's a superb space engine. I remember back years ago when they first released the 'Genesis' demo( it was supposed to be an Imperium Galactica game then, from what I remember ), which was a couple of years before the release of Nexus. The graphics were about the same, and not only that, the game ran completely smooth on my 933 mhz Geforce4 mx computer: the engine's got very good performance, considering the level of detail. I especially liked the way the game rendered beams and shields: too many space games just go for the old projectile-only style, and shield effects are usually badly done, if present at all.
