A big question among SWTOR fans has been, will the game feature in space combat? That question has been answered at this year's San Diego Comic Con with a very big "YES!"

Announced officially, players will be able to use their own player ships to hit the skies taking combat to a whole new level.

In space combat, you fly your personal ship to various “hot spots” on your galaxy map. From there, you will blast your way through asteroid fields, enemy fighters, frigates, destroyers, and a variety of other obstacles that will evoke memories of some of the great Star Wars™ space battles.

While it sounds as if space combat will more enhance the gaming experience it doesn't quite give the impression that it will be a primary feature. Is this what SWTOR fans were looking for?
