Looks to me like the next step from X-Wing vs TIE Fighter with a slight touch of JTL thrown in (limited numbers of combatants but you can modify your ride). Info is limited on the site so no clue if they took the lame ass SWTOR approach by taking skill mostly out of the picture and relying on "upgrades" and gimmicks to make you "better" in combat. I'll reserve my judgement until I can play it.
As for Galactic Starfighter in SWTOR... what a waste of development time and money, good thing you don't have to pay to get it...
