Hasn't been a good star wars space/flight sim in a long, looooong time - game has a lot to live up to, though it also look like it might be influenced a bit by Rebel Assault as well. It's a weird time to be a Star Wars fan.

I'm absolutely dying for a VR game like this. And of course I'm dying for something as quality as Tie Fighter, X-Wing, or even Rouge Squadron II...

I think the VR will make this worthwhile even if it's not amazing.

I just kind of don't see why there are so few examples of games of the quality of Tie Fighter, and it's really on the mission design. Just think up some cool missions damn it!
