The pics and info have been coming in from GenCon!  Pictures available here:

Here are a few of my favorites (attached).

Each "cruiser" sprue for each race (UCM, Scourge) is said to have all the pieces to make one of 5 or 6 variants per cruiser.  PHR and Shaltari models are on their way.  Targeting models is based around that model's energy signature, so moving, firing, or Shaltari shields make the vessel easier to target.  There will be a Kickstarter in October, focused on the starter box(es) (maybe 2-player UCM vs Scourge?), with a firm delivery deadline in April. 

I'll put up a few more pictures in the next post.

Above were all UCM cruisers.  There are some Scourge cruisers in this batch.

These are some great looking ships! I am definitely keeping a weather eye on this game. I'm curious to see how the "low orbit" setting plays out.

Me too!

Today someone at GenCon posted this video which shows some basic combat mechanics for the Dropfleet game:

Some interesting departures from the Dropzone Commander rules (I think they will end up pretty different).  But I think it will be good, too, at least from this teaser video!
