The Novus Aeterno team has been hoping to be able to announce that capital ships will be part of the game at launch.

Thanks to a partnership with OKTA Studios, the first steps towards the goal is already in the works.

Novus Aeterno is described by its team as a "seamless AAA MMORTS" that is aimed squarely at fans of both MMO and RTS genres. We caught up with Taitale Studios CEO Nick Nieuwoudt to talk about Novus Aeterno. See what he's got to say before leaving your impressions in the comments.
