As much as I love (note current tense) the X-Wing series, I have began to understand that Totally Games had some wonderful ideas for game play. They seemed to fail dramatically though when it cam to back end programming (mainly sighted due to things like no rudder support until XWA, the lag ball known as XWA even on current machines, the lack of 3D support the worked like any other conventional game of the time because they were doing something "different" <read: not exactly standard so it tends to be more on the glitchy side>, etc). Sorry soap box due to trying to install the X-Wings on a few newer OS.
But I am glad to hear that this is going to be different, and from what I have been reading in the forums for the past year or so, largely what I thought the X-Wing series should have been to begin with. I am really looking forward to playing this game:).
