BioWare's Star Wars MMO To Have Space Combat 122
An anonymous reader writes "Big news for Star Wars fans looking forward to BioWare's upcoming Star Wars: The Old Republic MMORPG — space combat has been confirmed for the game. Players will be able to fly around the galaxy in their own personal starships, avoiding asteroid belts, landing in dangerous territory and battling other vessels. The initial news makes it sound like a cross between Mass Effect's galaxy map and a traditional space fighting game, where players will have to find 'hotspots' on the galaxy map in order to enter a particular zone."

And hopefully fighters with laser cannons that point somewhere else than just dead ahead, and an astromech unit to auto aim it. Gods damn it, this isn't rocket science anymore after doing it for 10,000 years, Star Trek already had this! Or is this against some lets-fight-retarded-in-space treaty?

How many parsecs will it take me to make my run?

Be careful what you ask for. Your "etc." could translate to Jar-Jar Binks...
You're misparsing it - he wants to be able to fire:
turbo lasers
missile turrets
repair engines (whatever those are!)
shields (to defend your allies, of course!)
AND
Jar Jar Binks.
I think most fans would welcome the opportunity to jettison him.
