I feel the same way, had very high hopes for SC, I had backed it before ED appeared on KS, but the video of the flight model has just killed it, Limit Theory looks like it has more potential than SC after watching this video.
I've actually easily put more than twice the support funds on SC than ED (and am part of the DDF here), and as you I am starting to be nervous about this flight model.
When discussions on the model where happening last year on the SC forums, a great deal of attention was made on the fact that ships have mass, and that the flight model was to be fully 'Newtonian' - with the attendant stabilisation systems - albeit with top speed limitations (somewhat akin to ED) and that it would be respecting things like inertia and mass. Then come Christmas and the demo and CR himself stated that the flight model seen was not the end product, that he knew it was quite unrealistic that that they were working on it.
Yesterday unveil indicated to me that everything in the above paragraph was wrong as nothing appears top have changed in their flight model. While it may be using 'Newtonian' characteristics, the values for mass and inertia was simply not even close to what they should be.
Network issues aside as those are fully understandable - (but not being properly prepared for a public unveil is not), it seem to me that the emphasis at this point is toward the visual and gimmicks over the core; and that does not bode well for the plan ahead. On the planning side, I fully understand that projects slips; but this particular project seems to be on a long slope...
But boy oh boy... those ships are shiny.
As a SC subscriber and someone who does believe in the vision, I guess that my faith is being tested at this point.
