This looks like an excellent update to me, and I'm thrilled they'll be looking at space again at last. I couldn't care less about the ewok festival of love, but I guess that's back too as well as re-doing the nym's themepark.
Looks good to me too!
All I gots to say is:
This better be live by the time I get back!!!

Did you hear? Gunships are going to take 1/4 damage now(at least that's the situation on testcenter)
"What is that strange Acronym?"
"Son Don't Look At That Man."
from wht I was reading thir is a exploit/situation if you have a fighter hug a gunship no dammage is taken. The fix will give the ships a epulse typ of thing and give the ship that is to close a lott of dammage.
Lol, but either way, it's going to take 1/4 normal damage now, so that oughta be really tight.
I read through that entire forum discussion, and what I got from it was that gunships will be GUNSHIPS! Damage to them will be reduced and the gunship itself can fire as Mumat said, an E-pulse type of area blast which will disable any ships within about 100m , though Hanse (I think it was hanse) wasn't sure if they were going to reduce this range or not. The E-pulse is not an offensive weapon to capture ships and destroy them, its to prevent hallhugging snub fighters.
YES!!!! YES!!!!! YESS!!!!!!!! FINALLY THE NOOB WONT GET BLOWN TO PIECES WHILE GUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry bout all caps...
