During a recent visit to EA's Redwood Shores studio for Star Wars: The Old Republic "Immersion Day", MMORPG.com Community Manager Mike Bitton had the opportunity to sit in on a presentation regarding one of the game's more controversial features: Space combat. See what Mike saw and check out his thoughts about the presentation.
For the purposes of our presentation, Daniel Erickson and crew demoed the Bounty Hunter's D5-Mantis, though he also touched briefly on the Imperial Agent's X-70B Phantom. The D5-Mantis is a cramped ship with a vertical design, clearly inspired by Boba Fett's Slave I. Players can access their ships via instanced hangars in any spaceport, with a hangar set up for each class.
