I can add this further detail from FFG's site:
To pilot your vessel, you'll use the movement guide that corresponds to the maneuver you've chosen for a given turn. First, place the starting end of the movement guide flush with the base of your craft. Then, simply pick up your miniature and place it at the end. Once you've established your position, you're free to determine attacks against any enemies in range. This simple mechanic delivers a wealth of tactical depth; make sharp turns, execute strafing runs, and wrestle your opponents for the best shot!
I can also add that in Spring 2007 FFG proposed to develope a "Wings of War Battlestar Galactica" while they were designing a Battlestar Galactica boardgame. I started working on it together with two other authors, one of which had already made a "WoW Space" proptotype before, but the project has been cancelled. A license for a "Wings of War Star Wars" was asked by FFG instead, and we started again working on that. This product seems a quite natural conclusion of that very long process, apart for the detail that
WoW authors are not involved any more.
I'm interested to see how it developes too, as you may guess.
