All your questions will soon be answered.

This would be cooler if it didnt look like a game released eight years ago.

You can fly from planet to planet though, right? Smugglers better be able to actually play the role of a smuggler now too.

And if for some god awful reason this is actual turn-based RPG combat, in starfighters, my god... but I don't think even SOE is that stupid (and shit, if you know me, you know I think they're plenty stupid).

I just have this feeling it's going to play exactly the same in space as it does on planets...

Or it will be even more boring...

Since there is no turn-based combat in the regular game, I doubt the space expansion will have it.

So how many more expansions will they make you buy before you have the full game that was promised originally... just kidding there Yoshi, even if there is some funny truth to that ;)

Well let me know what the two new playable species are when they announce them, I know you're more likely to hear about it first before I do :)

When you say it's real-time, do you mean that I can actively dodge anything that comes at me? I've never gotten into any game like this and that's the reason why.

Call it what you want, but when I attack someone in SWG, and I click "Attack", and they auto-attack on a set interval (which varies based on the weapon and any skills you might have), that sure seems like traditional RPG turn-based combat to me!

Let's say I'm wrong, and it isn't turn-based... am I going to click "attack" on that TIE Fighter, and maybe click some other nifty attacks like "Photon Torpedo", and wait till the fight is over? If it's like that, well, it's stupid. Nobody wants a dog fight where you're taking turns crunching numbers at each other...

And BobVilla, no you can't do that. SWG is really no different than any other MMORPG in terms of how battles work.
