Nexus : The Jupiter Incident got some nice touches in the Black Sun engine (the routes in pre FTL intro)
sadly scale of power in Black Sun engine v2 never reached public ...
and there is reason i like Independence Wars serie and B5:IFH/HomePlanet and that's ~newtonian like physics...

While this all makes a lot of sense and is very cool please don't bring us any spherical ships in the next update of DS
A flying ball is about the last thing I want to stare at for hours on end while playing a game

Saw this mentioned on another forum, and many of the conclusions he draws are highly questionable.
Atomic Rockets is a much better and more in-depth analysis.
