Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed Interview

GameSpy has conducted an interview with Sony’s Cinco Barnes, lead designer of the upcoming Jump to Lightspeed expansion for Star Wars Galaxies. An excerpt, as usual:

Q: Will spaceships need to be maintained via credits, and what happens when a ship is destroyed? Does a player have to build another one from scratch?

A: Star Wars Galaxies’ structure maintenance system used for houses and harvesters does not apply to your starship. Space vehicles are never destroyed flat-out, but they can be damaged to the point they are no longer usable. Over the course of combat, your starship components will be shot to pieces, and will need to be replaced.
