So it looks like at least some element of managing your weapons/shields power balance like in ye olde X-Wing and Tie Fighter games?

With both Empire and Rebellion playable, Squadrons will have a singleplayer story set after the events of Return Of The Jedi. 5v5 multiplayer is coming with several modes too, supporting cross-platform play between PC and consoles. Also it’ll support VR, if you wanna get gogged off your face with Picard and the boys.
