I might consider preordering this game, are there going to be exclusive content for preordering this game? No bigger space multiplayer battles, only 5vs5 that is it?

I posted the exclusive pre order skins etc on the first page.OK many infos here, but 5vs5 only ? Or 5vs5+AI Bots ?

- @ChadSquadron88 Seems like AI will be in there too.
Star Wars: Squadrons’ Fleet Battles will take place between two five-player teams, but they’ll use AI pilots to make the battles feel much more epic. Developer EA Motive revealed that Star Wars: Squadrons will feature a dogfighting mode and a singleplayer campaign at its recent gameplay reveal during EA Play Live.
Gameplay footage of Fleet Battles showed off an evolving multiplayer mode that pits teams in a conflict that plays out over three stages. Starting with a 5v5 dogfight, the battle will progress to each team either attacking or defending a capital ship before moving to the final stage where they’ll have to take out the other side’s flagship. In Fleet Battles and the other game modes, all of the action in Star Wars: Squadrons takes place from a first-person perspective, which Motive says will keep any players from getting a strategic advantage by changing their field of view.
A 5v5 multiplayer match may not sound large enough to convey the scale of such a massive conflict, but Motive has a solution for that. Responding to a Twitter comment, EA community manager Jay Ingram explained that AI pilots will fight alongside human players in Fleet Battles. That should help players feel more like they’re in a large-scale space battle like the ones seen in the Star Wars films, rather than a simple multiplayer match. It’s not clear yet how much of a role these AI ships will play in the fight or whether they’ll be full-fledged characters in their own right, but it seems that some original trilogy characters will make appearances in Star Wars: Squadrons, with Wedge Antilles already revealed in the gameplay trailer.
