I've tried a few explicitly battlestar galactica themed dogfighters but they didn't scratch the itch like House of the Dying Sun, i think its the deep drums in the soundtrack that I crave
For me it's something about how utterly raw everything feels, from the music and sound effects to the background. And the gameplay is so well-done that it makes it difficult for me to play other space dogfighters that don't at the very least have a space drift.
