Still EA and from what we know you DO have to unlock upgrades. Do I think it will be as bad as DICE unlocks? I don't think so. But I do think you may struggle off the bat if you come in to the game late.
Only if you watch the original movies. I read the various books and they made it a point that the Empire is pro humanity anti xenos. It's not unreasonable to find it weird to see different ethnicities representing the empire because the original movies are a product of their time but it should become easier to accept the Empire is still very much racist and scarily authoritarian but this has been clarified after the movies to be racist against different species.
I've always hated bots in pvp multiplayer. Always. Its one reason why I dislike Capital Supremacy in SWBF2.
Uuh 3rd person mode will give a competitive edge just like in Battlefront. If its in nobody will use 1st person mode and the game is designed around the cockpit.
Yep.
1. Don't think they actually cared about that in the older Tie Fighter games.

The campaign is not prerequisite. In an interview they said you start after the destruction of Alderaan in a prologue and make your characters. Then there is a bit of prologue gameplay and then they set you free to play multiplayer or singleplayer however you want.
Yes which is why they opted to no 3rd person at all. They knew the advantage would be so that most competitive players would use third and not play the game as the design intended.
VR gives a competitive edge already. It's space, its not like you have corners to peak around. The advantage for third-person is vastly overstated.
It's not built as a GAAS but they said updates are not off the table. If this game sells extremely well it would be baffling not to have more content especially since a lot of progression is based on cosmetic skins. Given how much shit EA has gotten over it's awful microtransactions in Battlefront it was probably a wise move to not bill this as a Microtrasaction fest.

Star Wars: Squadrons — everything you need to know
A deep dive into the game EA calls the ‘definitive’ Star Wars flight experience
Yeah just heard it in the Gamestar preview. Man this sounds like the perfect game. I hope they don't fuck up basic things.
Check out the original TIE Fighter. You play as an Imperial through the whole game, and while the faction is pretty cool, it doesn't try to pretend that the Empire are the good guys. They get to have all the great perks like the incessant backstabbing, torture, and the opportunity to clear minefields with an unshielded fighter.
I don't see VR as particularly more useful than a hat switch. The big difference is going to be between joysticks and other control schemes.
Yeah, it's amazing what you can do if you don't let mission creep get in the way.
6 maps 8 ships in a MP focused game. I really doubt they will drop it and just be done especially if it sells very well. The cosmetics are already in place with pilot, helmets, ship skins along with emotes and voice lines. It would just be baffling not to capitalize on this later.
He basically touched on a lot of what the Polygon thing said but there is one thing he said I kind of think was BS.
Yeah we won't really know till enough people get their hands on it.
