Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed Preview

1Up has published a one-page preview of Jump to Lightspeed, based upon what is known about the Star Wars Galaxies expansion so far. Check it out:
Spaceships! While a full list of all the ships available has not been released, rest assured that all the mainstays will be in the game, including the X-wing, the Y-wing, and various TIE-fighter models, as well as the Millennium Falcon. Cockpits and ship statistics will closely match the designs and descriptions set down in the movies, and ships will feature upgradeable shields and weapons.

Having your very own spaceship also does away with one of the worst problems of the original game: the shuttle system. When you've got a ship of your own, you can jet to those faraway galaxies on a whim. Concerning these space commutes, instead of using special space fuel, the ships will degrade part by part. Simply replace worn-out components to keep your ship in tip-top shape.
