Space Combat Board Game

I know this sort of thing isn’t for everyone, but the current trend in computer game publishing suggests that afficionados of realistic space combat may have to get creative when looking for a fix. I still fire up EoC from time to time to raid L-points, or just look at all the prettiness, but I also enjoy looking into other ways of simulating space travel and combat.

Maybe it was the nostalgia talking, but I found the materials for these games incredibly engaging. I didn’t have the time to actually play, I just looked through the books again, but it got me thinking and looking around for anything new. I found this:

Has anyone else seen/heard of this? Tried it? There appears to be an online component for this turn-based game that looks interesting. Has anyone tried this?
