Re: Space combat is coming!
Here is a detailed article from Dulfy about ship types, components, and possible loadouts. This could be a game all on its own and apparently isn't really linked to the "ground" game which we are currently playing. This is definitely more "detailed" than was known when the expansion was first announced and sounds rather "similar" to ship abilities as is found in STO.
