This was briefly mentioned in the post-Salute thread, but as it's going to be a new game I think it deserves it's own thread.

I'll update the OP when there is any additional news, here is what is known so far (from, I believe, the Hawk Wargames facebook page and a related GW Specialist Games group).

Thanks to reds8n for finding these quotes!

I can't tell you how excited I am to have the opportunity to make another foray into spaceships as GW's now sadly discontinued Battlefleet Gothic remains one of my all-time favourite projects. It's a real privilege to be working with Dave, Simon and Louis at Hawk, they're passionate and dedicated hobbyists (see the 9' DZC scale model of the smallest ship in Dropfleet) so I think we'll be making this one a real doozy.

I'd like to ask the group if there's any elements of BFG (or indeed any other spaceship rules like Firestorm Armada or Full Thrust) that you really, really like or really, really hate so that I can try to address them/obliterate them in Dropfleet. Just general fishing so I can steal your ideas really, but any thoughts you have on tabletop spaceships are of great interest to me.

Official confirmation from Hawk forums (thanks to Orlanth for bringing this to our attention):
