Soon™ = anywhere from tomorrow to 50 years from now.

Like Duke Nukem Forever, was going to be finished Soon™ about 10 years ago.

In fact space combat is like Rebel Assault when for pvp it should be more like x-wing vs. tie-fighter.

On this space combat system i made some suggestions:

I wouldn't call the open world pvp revamp a secret.

Everyone is aware of how badly they botched the Ilum project, not once, but twice, and everyone who is aware of that knows that they are revamping open world pvp for the third time.

And most of us don't have very high hopes.

It is best if they do not talk about something before it is in a almost done state.

Yes they could start to talk it up and tell us all what they would like it to be but in the end things get cut out or just can not be done an people rage. What I see it being is a big patch or Ex-Pack for next year some time.

Ilum was not really open world PvP.

There was the questing Area here: http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/1479/ilum.jpg

Then there was the zoned off PvP area here: http://almarsguides.com/Almar's%20St...0of%20Ilum.jpg

All it really was is a big War Zone.

If that "super secret project" would be free flight space combat be sure they would leak that for commercial reasons. Is what makes me think it's going to be more of the same we've already got with some additions like guild ships or any non significant feature or cosmetic.
I'd love to be wrong, honestly, I grew up playing X-Wing saga and my first multiplayer game was X-Wing vs Tie Fighter (and I still play solo Balance of Power campaign), but I've got little hopes seeing how badly is managed this game.

Odds are it has a small team working on it. So they may not be in a place to leak something.

If they've got a small team working on it then they should have a plan. Leak that the plan is free flight is already something, at least for me and, I'm sure, for thousands of Star Wars games fans like me. I'm not asking for details.
However you just gave me another reason to think there's not going to be free flight and just more of the same: they've got a small team working on it. So this project is of little importance for BW and they want it cheap, so they'll go the easy way: more rails.
Too bad, too sad

Swtor is dying. EA has lost faith. Subs way down and most of the swtor empoyees fired. I wouldn't expect much.
