If you’ve been following the news coming out of the Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ panel at Comic-Con International, you’ve heard the announcement that we will indeed have Space Combat as part of the TOR experience! But what does that mean? Space combat is an alternative gameplay experience to the primary game of storytelling, questing, and ground-based combat. 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.

This game is just getting better and better.

Nice, thanks for the info!!

I am surprised that they say it is an alternative to storytelling and questing. Seems to me that both storytelling and questing can take place in space...

That's true, but I think they're suggesting that the space combat will be more of an instanced battleground rather than an integrated part of the storyline. Could be wrong about that though.

This. I would hope by those comments that they also mean it will not be crippled by a need for every player to explore that avenue to complete their storyline...
