Shame really. It sounded like it could have an enormous amount of potential.

Oh, well. What's a Sci-fi RPG set around the moons of Saturn? After all, I suppose it would be frightfully dull, and... and boring, and completely...

Completely wonderful.

I had high hopes for this one.

If it does come out, I'd expect that it's toned down a bit from what they originally told us about it. Like Sins of a Solar Empire's simulated galaxy with orbiting planets that pull injured starships into the atmosphere.

A silly name though. Makes me think of that old, old paratroopers game where you are a canon, and you shoot paratroopers jumping from a plane.

lol. Now that was a game that should have earned a 21+ rating.

Does anyone actually know if it's still a WIP or what?

I sense the atmosphere of extreme pessimism...
Apparently, the game is still being worked on (they did respond to an e-mail a while ago, didn't they?), it is probable Laidback-Gaming simply don't have much to show given the current state of game's development.

At least, I sincerely hope so.

Their name is their motto, it seems. They're too laid back, they should go and work on the game!

I sent them an e-mail a while ago - to my surprise, they responded by claiming Dropship is still being worked on.

Nice to hear that they're at least pretending to still work on this. Always was a cool looking project.

It's all in the name. Ever wonder why all the games that have "broken" in their title end up being buggy messes?

"Laidback gaming"

Does this look like vaporware to you, plebs? From gamebanshee, link to a cinematic: http://vimeo.com/user1260990

Dudes with gas masks, ex-troika, possible turnbased. O god, insta-win game.

HEAVAN.
Unreal Engine 3, that's surprising to say the least. They originally planned to use the Source engine, if I recall correctly.
