Uh... What the fuck?

12v12 free flight combat? Dogfights coming to TOR?

I don't believe it.

I am so down for this shit. WTB 1st person view plus Rift support?

I'm interested as well. It's no Jump To Lightspeed, but maybe it's a start.

In this one category, I think EVE is going to have SWTOR beat! lol

I'm still going to check it out! I've enjoyed Star Wars in many forms over the years, but the space sims left a very distinct mark on me when I was younger. X-Wing, TIE Fighter (Still the best imo), X-Wing VS. TIE Fighter (and Balance of Power, it's expansion that included the B-Wing), and X-Wing Alliance which holy shit, came out FOURTEEN GODDAMN YEARS AGO. Each and every single one of these games had a significant impact on me and the way I viewed and played simulator games.

While I'm still looking forward to Valkyrie, this is going to hit the nostalgia button hard for me. I'm realistic enough to know not to expect the same sort of experience from the older sims, but I'm optimistic enough to hope that Bioware understands full well what a clusterfuck Jump To Lightspeed was (the space expansion for SWG) and how to avoid those same issues.
