Ground-To-Air battles in SWTOR

Satarious

"Alderaan appears to be the location of the latter, showing players seemingly involved in their own skirmishes as huge guns fire on - and hit - a ship off in the distance. It looks like SWTOR will retain that Star Wars sense of scale from the smallest one-on-one battles to fights in larger craft."

Old news.

That is the Alderaan Warzone where you capture turrets that shoot at the enemy spawn ship to bring it down.

Im hoping somethime down the road they implement a "X-wing vs Tie fighter" style combat that doesnt use your regular housing ship.

I do have hope for the PvP planet. You can call in air strikes if you control the correct points. They will give aid to the side that is out numbered as in rocket launchers and maybe even walkers from the last video. But Alderaan is just a 8x8 BG. The scale is nice with the ships and large lazer canons firing at the ships. But it won't be SW sense of scale in PvP on Alderaan, from what we have seen so far anyway.
