It reminds me, control-wise (if that is a word), of Imperial Glory. I would like to see these ships moving slower. Too fast means too hard to control. It's not like they can just stop and change directions.

I also hope that ships are absurdly expensive, so super fleets aren't running around everywhere.

Okay, enough complaining from me.

This does look very very good. I am certainly excited about it now!

And WHOEVER DID THE WATER: This is the best water and relationship of ships to the water (splash and such) that I have ever seen in a game. I also like the sway of the ships in the ocean. Beautifully done! Very impressive. Kudos all around for this programmer. Give him a raise.
