I just re-read the developer diary for Joe Bostic and noted this:

This kind of tactic can occur on land as well. In fact, the Rebels are especially good at this since they have the ability to take in small invasion forces (by slipping past blockading fleets) to land at Imperial bases, catching them by surprise.

 

Um. Is this a special move, or does this mean that if you get your transports close enough to a planet you can drop troops in the middle of a space battle?

 

And does this mean that the space battle would be bypassed or would the rebel ships just have enough speed to try to out maneuver the Imperial fleet?

 

Raises a whole slew of questions since if the battles are semi-real time, meaning that when a space battle starts, the players' attention is focused there and the rest of the galaxy is paused, then how would a rebel player pull that off?

 

Ugggggggg, I want at least a few solid details. Everything I have read or seen so far, just generates new questions!

it does raise questions and for the Answers we have just got to wait for the Game to be released.
