Here's a bit: Once equipped it's off to explore the galaxy, or conquer it, or make a small fortune, depending on your character class. When combat comes into play shield strength, hull integrity, energy reserves, and all of the other expected aspects of operating a space ship come into play. However, the battles won't play out like something out of Wing Commander, instead they will stick to the RPG style of the game as the likelihood of making a successful attack, or successfully avoiding shots fired will depend on your level of proficiency in combat, not on twitch gameplay. You cannot die outright though if defeated. Instead your ship will be towed back to dock for repairs and an experience penalty will be incurred which must be paid before you can progress up in levels again, though it will not bring down a player from their current levels when they are penalized. Very informative and well written...
