I"m playing EVE right now on the 14 day free trial.. Are people saying that SWTOR is going to impliment a space game like EVE? or just beef up the space on rails? I seriously doubt SWTOR is going to do any true galactic 3D space..
I hope it is in development, but with the stripped down Dev team, I don't think we will be seeing anything soon, I also am not sure they will be able to do the needed complete from the ground up re-write and feaqr a rehashed rails shooter.

Star Citizen will dwarf their little SSSP space attempt.
I'm quite sure it's some "warzones," Moonbreaker style, you'll queue up, get a loading screen, shoot around in an instance with 16 players steering with mouse (no joystick support), 3rd person view, no cockpits, no complicated flight sim controls to cater to their casual customers.
Warzone ends, followed by a loading screen.
All in glorious dull Hero Engine clone wars graphics, tested to work on 2005 office laptops.
exactly. The sad thing is, the Moonbreakers type gameplay fits perfectly into SWTOR with all the instancing, queuing up for warzones thing and linear themepark gameplay.
Perhaps they will buy it, reskin some ships, add some voiceovers and sell it to us as the SSSP .
Don't have any hopes for a SC, Freelancer or Elite Dangerous type space sim.
bioware knows that the players are leaving and really came up with the whole thing as a way to try and slow the leaving player base down. note that it's barely working.
thats because they are already known to not meeting promises......... I wonder their definition of "soon"

Normally, we get the trademarked "Soon" (tm) as to when some new shiny feature will come out. In this case, it's not even "Soon" (tm), but "Not Soon" (tm).
Not gonna hold my breath, even if they had said "Soon". I will be surpirsed if anything comes out until the end of next year.
One thing you should have learnt by now is don't get your hopes up and don't expect anything. For all we know it could just be a slight upgrade to the rail shooter in place now.
One thing that you can say is that EAware have a habit of over hyping everything.

You could say that if you don't like what they make whih works just as equally for any company that releases a product that any one single person doesn't like luckily for me I tend to really enjoy EA/BW games so for me it isn't over hyped.
In regards to the space project glad to see it moving along even though my interest in it is minor as I'm still enjoying the game and still finishing the storylines.
I like the current space minigame for what it is - nothing more than a diversion really, like the minigames in GW1 (snowball fights?). I really hope the new space project is open ended and has more "meat" to it rather than being an on rails shooter.
I would never expect an EvE sort of space sim out of this game. I think anyone hoping or "thinking' it will be that is just silly. Especially those that think that it Should be that, but they already hate the game, so when it isn't that, it lets them hate it even more! Justifaction, go!
If it's similar to XwingVsTie, with missions with up to 8 people at the start in huge open space areas, that'd be wonderful. I'd hope for more then just your one ship.
But that link to that moon breaker is most likely closer to what it will be. Sadly
