I was expecting some huge space battle, with X-wings and A-wings swarming around a fully functional Corvette, moving onto an intercept path to the Imperial group of players, who would have to stave off the fire until whoever was flying the transport with the ground-side crew (Inside a Decimator or a Lambda < add these instead of grossly overpowered, redundant fighters or a magical X-wing that can make it carry almost double the mass by having a swollen cockpit 'chin'!) can zoom in, dock, and take out the corvette from the inside, before taking control of it, turning it's guns onto the Rebel Fighters, and generally being a lot of ass-kickage.
Instead the Imperial player gets told to go onto an already disabled Corvette and take it for a joyride.
The novelty has already worn off.
The glass is half empty for you isn't it? Do you even know what this is? This is just the intro video showing they are WORKING ON capital ships. The devs have said it might be a year before we even see them, so who is to say they are even at the stage where they can effectively shoot anything, all we see here is that they have the art for them pretty much done. Combat is a whole lot more complicated. This is nothing that we haven't seen before, just a clean version without the people in the background. I don't see how can you be complaining since we haven't see anything new from this, it's the exact same thing. Personally I'm still happy to see it again.

kazza, rebels get to do this. every droid command rebels get is about moving shields around. (with the exception of the mute droid command

Looks great, exept for the fact that 'the guy' was using exploited exeptional post CU E11 mark II carabine...he was one shot killing rebels on the ship. I hope that rebels will have similar quest where you speak to Ackbar on Calamari Cruiser and he tells you to take control of Imperial corvette. It would be just insane if you could modify the vette. Put some Capit ship double shields on it, 200 speed engines, and capitol ship weapons.
