I'm even more interested seen as it's trying to bring something new to the table that the previous X-Wings didn't, by positioning the TIE Reaper and U-Wing as 'support craft' with EW capabilities, which if done right could allow you to dominate the battlefield in a manner not done in these games before.
I'm still a little sore there's probably going to be no mission editor to make more complex missions than the basic ones we'll be given, but thats something I'll have to accept.

Actually Power Management is stolen from X-Wing games, not the other way around ;-)

First SW content I am excited for since... Revenge of the Sith maybe? And first EA title I'm excited for since... don't know really, I think the last EA game I bought was a street basketball game for PS2.
And actually realized how I want a fresh space game experience. Returned playing Elite since a while, but the experience feels just so old and aged even in VR.
Edit: reddit post sourced from a Polygon interview. After Fallen Order claims were proven right... has EA really changed?

yeah at the 1:30 mark a TIE I does what I definitly think looks like FAoff against a Corellian Corvette, promising!! (although I'm crap ay FAoff so maybe not so promising!
)Reading youtube I came across the best comment I've read in a long time, on the subject of it being VR compatible:
"Oh, I'm afraid my wallet will be quite operational when this game arrives. " LOL

Smeg the more I learn about this game the better it get's, Although I hope the SP avatars can be personalised and are silent (Gordon Freeman style) in cutscenese. But I fear the Disneyification of Star Wars will continue in the respect.......oh and like Karrde says...die Rebel scum!
I'm trying to maintain a posture of level headiness.... and failing completely
Remember that bit from the first Star Wars film:
Vader: Several fighters have broken off from the main group. Come with me!
Vader: Also... don't forget to decorate your tie fighters with a selection of awesome cosemetics and bobbleheads, see my experimental TIE fighter and ewok bobblehead, see the force is all about distractions, you guys have seen my desk right? Covered in Funko Pop! we get loot boxes sent out to the death star monthly..not just Star Wars ones, I've got the Shrek ones..I don't even care I'm Dath freakin' Vader, you think I care?

This is set after RoTJ and before TFA, Vader and Palps were out of the picture by then, maybe the Empire loosened up a bit you know? Like when the boss goes on holiday
OK, rewatched the gameplay trailer and now I admit, I'm now totally hyped for this game. This will be a riot to play in VR, I think it will be a headset seller.
I've been proper moody since FD's Odyssey/VR statement, I would never, ever have imagined that EA (E....A.... ?!?!) would make me get all squeely over a new space shooty title... with VR and a single player mode and multiplayer, with bots... and crossplay.
Crikey!

Very much this.
Between this and Microsoft Flight Simulator, I’m starting to revisit my decision not to buy a new PC this year, given that ED:Odyssey isn’t going to support VR. My current one I got back in 2012, and can’t upgrade it any further without getting a new motherboard.
That’s excellent news - combined with the Frostbite engine and looking at the current SWBF2 Nexus scene, that could only mean one thing: Modding
As much as EA are the embodiment of evil...I'd dare anyone to say they've never played and enjoyed at least one title they've published
Its not like its uncommon for companies to prey on past successes (they didnt really have a hand in) to bolster revenue....I m sure I could come up with a prime example for this strategy if pressed
My concern for this title is that it ll be a pure Multiplayer game with a solo campaign designed as a tutorial, short, simple and insufficient to entertain people not interested in MP for any length of time. Happened in the past. Also yeah...theres going to be heavy monetization cuz its EA...dont think I ll ever get this. The thing I learned about Star Wars over the decades is that the original 3 movies were the foundation and the only glory this franchise ever had. Everything past that has been downwashed, simplified, was simply bad or has lost its soul in the name of money. I groan inwardly whenever a new SW movie is announced.
As for expected gameplay I think missions will have lists of objectives to focus on so maybe this game will get away with a less-then-perfect flight model. It ll look gorgous, will have great sound effects and will rely on the reputation of its name,,,,what can go wrong? It might not become a great game but its financial success is all but guaranteed at this point.
what what what SWBF2 is moddable??!!!That’s excellent news - combined with the Frostbite engine and looking at the current SWBF2 Nexus scene, that could only mean one thing: Modding
