Anyone know what engine they are developing this on, or is it their own?

It is their own engine called "DANCER". It's the same as the classic version (Which i played VERY briefly for the demo) but with a few tweaks to make it easier to fly for the novice pilot.

Please note that DANCER is not a development engine at all, but simply a nickname used for the original flight physics code.

Wow, a ND dev, thats damn cool. We need to get this game on the hype meter, or wait for some of the other games (see: darkfall) to flop.

 

More exposure! :)

I think the hype will go out when there is more info provided and the beta starts.

Darkfall isn't that vaporware :)

I hope Darkfall isn't vaporware.  Those guys claim to be trying some very interesting things that haven't been done successfully in a mainstream product.  Assuming I can put together the time to actually play, I'm looking forward to trying the game myself and seeing how the product does in today's online game market.
