Seeing the new concept art and reading the few fluff snippets makes me cautiously optimistic. Some of the changes will need to getting used to (like the Aquan fluff, or that the Veydreth and Bakash are now major factions), but given that they jumped the timeline quite a bit into the future most of these changes can be explained nicely.
And I really like the look of the new designs. The Sorylian battleship looks sweet and I am looking forward to seeing more for "my" fleet

. I also like how the new Terran models use some of the Directorate design inspirations to indicate their merging.
Maybe Warcradle can bring FSA back in a nice way, and if not, at least we might get some cool looking models that will fit into the old line of ships pretty well.
