I knew if I looked hard enough that SOMEONE would find a way to bitch about it.

Nah.. they'll still find something else.

Actually if anything, the space combat system only reveals truly how much of a cookie-cutter, linear game SWTOR is going to be. Some players so far are over looking that everyone will have the exact same ship depending on your faction only. The only customization there will be is the interior that has already been talked about. 

Not to mention that this space content is separate from the main gameplay much like monster-play is in Lotro which equals no content.  So I really don't get why the fanbois are celebrating already when they basically just got Facebook for space content. If BW wants to do space, they need to do it right and not with last-century's Hero engine for starters.

It is sort of silly how people went from "lol no spacez combatz, lol they confirmed it, lolz, my friend of a friend told me there won't be any, this game sucks"...

To what we have currently.

The spaceflight will suck, it will be 10 people per "instance", etc etc.

Even though it was a very small panel they had, they put out a lot of information.

Space combat is in.  Speculation is great and needed.  But declaring space combat according to how you feel about the game (haters calling it from mini games to a terrible shooter, or fanbois saying it's Tie Fighter reincarnated) just isn't right.

They said the PCgamer mag will have pictures for the issue released on the 17th? ish.  Pictures and details.  Let's wait till then till we scream how great it is or isn't!

I'm glad you have given us your insight on how space combat will be, seeing that no one other than Bioware knows how it actually plays out.

Lets first wait and see how it will be represented ingame. We already know that your personal spaceship will have an interior that you can customize when its landed.

But we dont know yet if spacecombat will be like in SWG, where you can walk inside the interior (in a POB anyway) during flight/combat. Its possible that the combat is represented in a STO way. With just a tiny ship that represents you in some weird fake spaceenvironment.

So especially the ppl who liked SWG spacecombat might want to wait first how it will be implemented in SW:TOR.

In regards to ship exterior customization:

"Of course, it would be pretty boring to have an entire galaxy packed with a handful of similar ships. To combat this, BioWare has created a robust customization package so that you can fully trick out your ship with premade gear sets or your own hand-picked items. Though BioWare isn't showing off the ships in action just yet, they assure us that there will be thousands of different variations so that each person can feel as if they have a unique vessel."

And then get mad when the game isnt' what you thought it'd be.

What a repetitive group we have around here.

rofl. You're hilarious dude. You mock all the people who are hyped and excited for this game as being a repetitive group, and yet you yourself are looped in with a "repetitive group" of your own.

 

The Annoying  Whiney TOR Trolls Crew.

 

You guys are all the same. You constantly barrage the TOR forums with how bad the game is going to be. But YOUR posts in particular are especially predictable. If the topic is TOR, you can be damn sure everything in your post will be about how bad it will be.

Every one of your posts is "this game isn't going to be as good as everyone thinks" or "it doesn't live up to Star Wars lore" or "SWG is better than TOR will be" or  "there won't be space combat". And then, when there is space combat,  "it won't be good! It won't be "X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter". "Bioware sucks, all their games are bad." You sure have a lot of bad blood about EVERYTHING in this game. Like... literally EVERYTHING.

 

The difference between our groups? The excited people have something to be excited about right now because this is big news. You are just proving, yet again, that your group really has nothing better to do than attempt to dampen people's spirits with despondent and dejected outlooks on life.

 

I prefer my group, at least everyone is in high spirits. If the game happens to suck at launch, I'm glad I had the months prior to enjoy life rather than being a sad little ingrate.

Perhaps because no mmo, ever, has launched as fully voiced, with housing and space combat at the day of launch? doesnt that just show the ambition we need, with their financial backing?..just a thought..

This game will be so awesome,  Subscription numbers will be huge!  Hopefully, they will put a Eta-2 clone in.  I love that spaceship.

This thread cracks me up.

1 person: It might suck if it's like this... or this....

2nd Person: OMG No its not, its going to be epic. youre completely wrong, the space combat isnt like that all. You dont know what youre talking about.

Bioware: We're not going to talk about any details (yet again), but be sure to pick up a copy of this particular magazine we made a deal with to cover it exclusively.... 3 months from now.

CAN I BE THE SPACE FOR THIS?

WILL I BE THE SPACE FOR THIS?

That still doesnt show how itll look in action. If your ship will be represented by looking at it from the outside? Or that you will be able to look from the inside.

I have difficulties trying to translate this in English, but in SWG you can walk through the interior of your ship while being in space(combat). A ship can have turrets that groupmembers can enter. A large gunship for example has multiple rooms that can be freely decorated and a lot of turrets.  So your group can move freely inside the interior and when combat starts ppl walk over to the turrets etc, where they can look outside the ship from the turret.

While in STO you also have a ship interior, but its not used during spacecombat. During combat you see a smaller representation of your ship, which breaks immersion for me.

The STO way seems to be a lot easier to implement, but SWG way is more immersive imo.

Even if space combat is really limited at the start I must say bravo on the initiative to get it into the game on release Bioware. I am becoming more an more impressed with this game as the news rolls out.

I hope the space combat is similar to that of SWG, I really enjoyed the fact that you could target areas of the ship to disable weapons or power.

The wording does make me a bit unsure, but we'll see details in time. And at least now we know that we will have space combat.

If only we got swoop racing with upgradeable parts, too. :P

In space combat, you fly your personal ship to various “hot spots” on your galaxy map. From there, you will blast your way through asteroid fields, enemy fighters, frigates, destroyers, and a variety of other obstacles that will evoke memories of some of the great Star Wars™ space battles.

---

Remember Star Wars: The Knights of the Old Republic where the ship flew automatic and you were at the turret firing at enemy fighters, etc.? Yeah.

I'm still excited for SW:TOR none the less.

That would be totally lame if that's what they mean by space combat, however that alone won't deter me from checkin out this game.
