Thanks for putting together a roadmap guys, it's a big help. As a PS4 player, I do have a couple of questions though.

With the addition of mouse and keyboard support, does this mean that console players will now have all the functionality of the PC version in terms of the new hotkeys, customisable keybinds, etc?
Also, will we now be able to rename our ships and fleets during the campaign?
And finally, what does FSG-01 stand for on the Daidalos seal? (This is the really important question. lol :wink:)

Thanks, GHawkins. :)

It might sound daft, but I love that kind of minutiae. The depth of detail helps me to truly immerse myself into the worlds of Battlestar Galactica when I'm on this game.

Yes, all of the M+KB functionality from the PC version will be available on consoles using M+KB.

I would really love it if you could flesh out the playback/record/edit features to:

* include the ability to save raw playback so you can retrieve it later
* view using different camera angles and record those camera angles in the final video output

So I have to ask.
When will tier 3 launch?
Since tier one was with the release of resurrection, and tier two is mostly cosmetic.
And I'm personally waiting for the Fleet size increase before I start playing again.
