@SirCornmeal11381. Yes there will be. Two multiplayer modes are confirmed: 5v5, and 5v5 with capital ships
2. 8: Tie fighter, tie bomber, tie interceptor and tie reaper. Countered by X wing Y wing A wing U wing. There could be more after launch, but it’s only Empire vs New Republic era so probably not too many more. Also these would be additions to the classes, not adding another.
3. I highly doubt it
4. Not really cards...but there are 6 slots which you can choose 60 upgrades for the fighter: one for missiles, one for lasers, one for engines, one for shields, and 2 for auxiliary like a tractor beam or mine.
5. 2nd of October this year
Hope this helps!
