(take note, we talk about still a long time)

That brings back old memories. The original CC I consider to be one of the very best games of its time, and a highly influential forerunner of game concepts to come (multi-vehicle-simulations).

That's great news, I hope it doesn't fall by the wayside like the Simlogic version a few months back. Good also to see that the Flashpoint guys are doing it.

Interestingly the original game was intended to be set in world war 2 with actual carriers, planes, subs etc but they decided on a futuristic scenario as they could make less complex models and have the game run faster. Hopefully the Battlestations series will also gravitate towards a Carrier Command style play in a ww2 environment.
