Does this game have?

Interested in this game but a bit worried by all of the nay sayers and the manual having virtually no shortcut keys.
I like the idea that battles are slower because for me that equals more tactics and less rush.

Does this
* Z axis movement
* Sub System targetting
* Individual weapons systems
* Customisable ships

We are all awaiting HW3. But could this game itch a scratch just a little?

Could this game be compared to conquest frontier wars?

There's some shorcut keys, not many though.

There's no Z axis movement, but I don't miss it at all, different ships have different Z settings.
I played the campaign but i'm still on mission 5 , so I don't know much about what's ahead in the campaign.
I did play skirmish, and you do have targettig weapon subsystems in bigger ships and you can configure the abilities of your battleships, but there's no more customization beyond that.

It's a nice game so far, I'm enjoying quite a lot the campaign story, but it's not HW3.

It has indeed a feel like Conquest Frontier Wars except you have all the systems on the same screen, so zooming out allows you to get the completer overview and you can zoom in back to the place you're interested in.
