@@robertmartin1611 There don't have to be micro transactions for EA to ruin things. Potential problems from experience with EA I expect: -Dumbed down gameplay with stupid stuff like regenerating "health" and/or ammo. They should take X-Wing Alliance as an inspiration but the gameplay will probably feel more like the space battles in Battlefront 2. -Ridiculously high TTK like in Battlefront 2. -"Abilities" like in Battlefront 2. -Too much customization. This would not be thaaat much of a problem for the rebels but it would absolutely ruin immersion when the Empire could do this as well. -DLCs aren't micro transactions, so lots of DLCs. These are my predictions. I seriously hope the game will be good, but when it comes to EA, I never get hyped and I don't listen to the people. People said Battlefront 2 became a good game but it still sucks. No micro transactions doesn't equal a good game.

It's a spiritual successor of X-Wing vs Tie Fighter. XvT Series (4 games and an expansion) was a major block buster franchise of the 90s which was a super in depth Space Simulation set in the Star Wars universe. This is a lot more, how should I say... Dumbed down for the modern generation of knuckle draggers but it's far deeper flight mechanic wise than anything a AAA studio has felt they can do for the last 20 years. In the 90s on PC Simulation titles like MechWarrior, Freespace, X-Wing, Tie Fighter, and Wing Commander were the PC Exclusive killer apps you could not get on console and were responsible for why everyone who owned a home computer in the 90s owned a mandatory Joystick. Hard to believe that for a while if you game used all the keyboard buttons 3x's over (Holding Alt, Ctrl, or Shift) and came with a mini phone book manual you were almost guaranteed to have a massive hit! Now It's $40. In 2002 the Gold Standard of Space Simulators came out, Freespace 2! Game of the Year, 10/10's, 100% scores. And it flopped. That was the last AAA Space simulator from a major studio. I think this $40 budget game is a test to see if Space Sims are able to make any kind of come back. I bet if we get a Squadrons 2 it'll be like Battlefront in scope. This almost feels like a proof of concept to the executives who no doubt were hesitant to sign off on it as it's a dead genre. (EA use to make Wing Commander, a major franchise in the genre back then)

I'm wondering if there will be a death penalty for killing yourself to respawning. Or if you will have to fly back to land and deploy another fighter which wastes time.

Even Slave 1 can be taken out in only 2 waves with 3 ships hitting it at the same time, 1 wave if Slave 1 has no chance to use the sonic charge, or the attacking wave is out of range. The idea is to swarm. Have 1 interceptor lay chase to the hero, and 2 fighter class ships to cover the flanks. Add more ships for faster hero destruction.

Everything screams this being a modern update/reimagining to the X-Wing/TIE Fighter games and that's not a bad thing.

The original 1993 X-wing game (and subsequent games) had the exact same resource management mechanic shown here. It was a staple in space fighter sims throughout the 90s, back when the genre was most popular. Super glad to be seeing a revival of that - I'd have expected EA to give us a much more watered down experience, in all honestly.

All the ships that have shields can be adjusted forward or back, you can use shield energy to boost lasers or engine speed or vise versa. Also look at the X-wing game and Tie Fighter game, BTW Tie Fighter is the best Star Wars fighter sim with a great story that also includes you working with Vice Admiral Thrawn to save the Emperor from the Traitor Admiral Zaarin. Game comes with a story book following the recruit you play as all the way up to the rank of Emperor's Hand if you do the secret missions.

This really takes me back to the Rogue Squadron games. My favorite has to be Rogue Squadron 3: Rebel Strike. It was quite the Starfighter/Walker/Speeder simulator game with a bit of alternating gameplay that even switches to battles taken on-foot. It also introduced some pretty cool side-stories and vehicles. Even during those times you had the ability to look around your cockpit and examine the details and even the HUD from third-person is integrated into the various screens and instruments on the dashboard when going into cockpit view.
