Space battle's should be like Starfox64 imo but expanded upon. Like flying through a starship battling it out, pvp or pve. Starfox64 was great fun. It had barrel rolls, lock on weapons and the ability to lose a tail and turn the tables. Just add some ship cosmetic customization's and some twist to ship abilities maybe rock paper scissor mechanics = epic space battles.

Quality of life is much better with a sub and worth it imo. You get a lot more choices. 12 characters per server. No limits on xp, more loot to chose from completing quest. No limits on FP's, WZ's. Gear is cheaper at zone vendors, larger commendation bank pool. Lets not forget about the perks. Fleet pass, sprint at level 1, speeders at level 15, legacy options which is good if you plan on playing more than 1 character, probably more I just don't know them.
