You can change the camera angle so that you get a third person perspective on SWG too.
So you get more of a "Rogue Squadron" feeling.

Aye I know, its shown in the first SWG vid I put up, but the video's been removed Sad

Here's another!



I still stick by my original comment though, I think the space combat in SWG is very much starfighter combat whereas STO is more capital-ship style.

Well I find SWG space combat a bit dull. DId any one play the X series(X2 The Treat, X3 Reunion, X Terran Conflict)? I found them more interesting.

Played X2 - That was kinda fun. I also like Homeworld/Homeworld2; they were incredibly epic and if TOR end up doing Space Combat more like an RTS than a flight sim, I REALLY hope this is the way they do it - seeing s*it loads of fighters erupting from Capital Ships would be a sight to see!

No game I've seen can even touch this game for Fleet Combat.

The game seems more like a strategy.

Aye, it is. That's why I said:

I don't think they will to Space Combat like an RTS as thats not very "mmo" but then again, they've already surprised us with upping the story content way beyond any other MMORPG (except maybe wow, but they've got a 6-yr headstart Razz)

True! I quite liked EVE as well, but found it a little slow. That and the lack of anything other than space gaming; it would have been nice to see your character after the character-creation process - instead you were just a "face" lol

Frankly I don't have much to add to points already brought up in this thread. Space Combat would be very cool but rather hard to do and it would require the individual to acquire a hell of a machine to pull it off and really enjoy it. I'm definately not bashing the idea, I would love to see it incorporated in TOR, I mean without your own ship exploring the stars is quite a bit less awesome.

I'm sure that you, like I, have already made plans about your own ship for TOR.

One thing, I'm not sure if it has been brought up, that I heard on a podcast was that the page holonet/spacecombat does exist but is void of any information. It does hint at it existing in the game.

We've all known since E3 that we got ships as player housing and bioware themselves have all but said that space combat in some form is due to appear in-game.

Despite that we've had precious little to go on, but it seems more info may be nearer than we think!

I found this article while Twittering and thought it might be of interest....

Starship combat confirmed

Enjoy.

I reckon its a sure bet (else I wouldn't have put it up here) but what interests me is the actual amount of info they'll have.... I suspect it'll concentrate more on the "Custom" Player ships than actual space combat because, lets be honest... BW aren't exactly forthcoming with info now are they? Very Happy

This made me laugh though:

Agreed, i hope that we get to know if you can team up with friends and explore space to some extent, or even just launch with a few friends. Loved my old decimator in swg and even my lil' jsf escorting the larger vessels through deep space.

"sigh"
