Thread: Is this the asteroid mining ship landing on a planet?

Among the recent GameSpot articles there is a picture
of a ship hovering over an installation of some kind on a planet.

Two things...

Could this be the mining ship?

Does this mean we will be able to navigate player ships over planets?

What do you all think?

I'd bet more on that being a Slaver ship. I remember another screenshot showing that from another angle and it had players fighting Trandoshan Slavers in their camp with that ship behind them.

From everything I've read, the strain of atmospheric flight would be too much for the game, so I'm guessing it's either a static point on Kashyyyk or the sort of occasional landing that we see from Leia, Vader, ST squads, etc.

It could well be the mining ship, though. It looks like an armed cargo freighter but isn't as aggressive looking as gunboats and other pure military vessels have been so far.
