I am still waiting to see what would make it better

The concept of New Angeles seems more streamlined to me than BSG, it's more of a pure negotiation/social interaction game, without distraction from the flying and fighting in space, the jumps, the brig, the whole reveal-thing, the separate cylon actions, ... Not that I think that BSG is a bad game, but it does have quite a lot of 'stuff' tied to it, however thematic it all may be.My personal experiences with Battlestar Galactica have been very mixed. On some occasions it resulted in very epic and memorable evenings, on others the whole dynamic just fell flat (even with the same gaming group). We never knew whether it would 'click' this time, so it gradually became less played.It also happened more than once that about an hour before the end of the game, it was pretty clear which side was going to win, but you still had to go through the chore of playing it through to the end, with some people becoming tired or distracted and alpha players taking over. I can imagine that the secret personal objectives in New Angeles will keep things more tense and uncertain until the very end of the game.Just my 2 cents atm, based on the very limited information I've read.
