That site has a lot of great stuff like ability lists, screens, maps and such. Nice find!

"There's a flashpoint dealing with Revan and the Exile."

Whoa.

[Subb]

Looks like Lightsaber forms are confirmed. This is amazing; allows for in depth tactical PvP, just like MxO.

The link just has abilities and mentions nothing about lightsaber forms.

[Subb]

7th ability down it has 'Soresu Form' which is one of the Lightsaber forms. 'While in Soresu Form the Warrior gains 1 Rage when attacked by an enemy, once every 3 seconds. It also significantly increases his chance to glance incoming attacks, reducing the damage they inflict. It also reduces the Rage granted by all of his Assault abilities by 1.'

[Tbone]

Oh, I see it now. I must have skipped over it the first time. In KOTOR, the forms were pretty significant as you had to change them depending on what type of enemy you were fighting and how many. If I had to guess, I'd say that they will more than likely take the form of buffs in TOR, as this information suggests. Not quite the same, but might still be just as tactical.

New post about space combat

Critical Missions in Space
Traveling through space is an exciting part of the Star Warsâ„¢: The Old Republicâ„¢ experience. Not only will you navigate the stars to visit new planets, but you can also choose to undertake critical missions in the depths of space where you'll maneuver through chaotic asteroid fields, blast enemy fighters, and engage in epic, large-scale fleet battles reminiscent of those from the classic Star Warsâ„¢ films.

Completing your Objectives
Whether undertaking faction-based missions involving epic space battles or simply cruising through one of the galaxy's "hot spots", the Space Combat experience drops your starship right into the action. You'll be put on a direct course towards your objective and you'll maneuver your ship through obstacles and deal with enemies that cross your path. It's truly a 'combat' experience.

Your final objective in the mission could be escorting a friendly shuttle to safety or even destroying an enemy battle cruiser. As your character's level increases, you'll be challenged with more difficult and more complex space combat missions, and the stakes will only get higher. By succeeding in these missions, you'll obtain rewards that will be useful in other aspects of the gameplay experience.

Exploring the Galaxy
As your Star Wars: The Old Republic saga unfolds, you'll fly through scenarios in all corners of the galaxy. From braving the galaxy's most dangerous asteroid belt to taking part in a large-scale showdown over an embattled ice world, you'll experience a large variety of missions in a large variety of environments.

Some truly amazing footage filmed by darth hater, including a lot of stuff involving the Jedi classes including  building your own lightsaber and others

The forging a lightsaber footage was pretty cool. I liked the voice acting and animations of the dialog. Combat still looks a little stale - no lightsaber on lightsaber, that sort of thing.

Corellia announced as another planet... looks very, very sweet. Watch the video - looks like my favourite planet so far.

The amount of planets in this game is unreal!
