BioWare reveals the first two ships available in SWTOR
BioWare has updated the official Star Wars: The Old Republic website with two of the starships players will have available to fly around in the game.
The Jedi Defender is one, and the other is the Sith Fury which looks a lot like the TIE Interceptor – and is what we’ll be flying, at least until the other four ships are revealed. There may be one even cooler in there.
A trailer released during gamescom showing a bit of space combat can be found here.
Currently in Beta, Star Wars: The Old Republic is expected sometime next spring.

They said there would be one for each class. That video of the space combat had shown a handful of them.

I was so utterly turned off by the space combat explanation in the newest GI issue. I can’t believe it’s going to be like a rail shooter experience. Don’t they see they are missing out on being able to launch from a planet, enter space and combat giant federation ships with mass combat. Sure, they might look like Hollywood action set pieces, but an MMO with rail shooter sequences? I don’t care if it’s a “custom” ship, if there’s not a decent place to fly it around and show off it seems superfluous.
I’m thinking something akin to the Battlefront 3 video that surfaced some time back when Free Radical was supposed to make it… This is the one thing I’ve heard about this game that bums me out, it sounded untouchable before this revelation.

Again the space combat is an added bonus/feature its not the selling point of the game. What Bioware is trying to do is sell the story of the game with the Voice acting and decision making, everything else is just an added feature. Bioware has also said that they will look into PVP for it.
Look at WoW when it first started it barely had anything for it and wasn’t as indepth as it is today. So with time assuming its successful, they may give it an expansion that makes the Space combat more in depth.

the space combat was in the Galaxies, voice Acting in the Everquest 2, Story is in Guild Wars 2 with a lot of events
“Look at WoW when it first started it barely had anything for it and wasn’t as indepth as it is today.”
A big mistake. When it launched it was a much much hardcore game than it is now. WOW has just a lot of content but thats just it. It’s more casual now than it was.
So… No buy for the World Of Warcraft clone. Guild Wars 2, WOW: Cataclysm and Warhammer 40K: Dark Millennium Online, Rift: Planes of Telara are the best mmorpgs that people expect. End of Story.
