For anyone who's been looking forward to this, the first info has been put up on the main site:

There's also a few more tidbits in this interview at IGN:

In a nutshell:
2 new species, 4 new professions, 15 different ships (including X-wings, Y-wings, TIE fighters and interceptors, plus multi-passenger transports like YT-1300 freighters), real-time space combat, 10 space zones, 100 new missions.

They're shooting for a Fall release.

Probably...but its possible that they may be NPC ships.

Sounds that way. From the IGN interview:

"We also hope to have well-known capital ships from Star Wars lore in the game as NPC-controlled opponents that will be central to epic battles."

Yep.

Its tempting me to get Galaxies for this...but I still don't like the idea of paying a monthly fee...

If I can't piolt/ use the Death Star, it's not worth a monthly fee, LOL.

Yeah...but I'll set my sights a bit lower. You know, Super Star Destroyers.
