Space combat has been mentioned before but not by Bioware on their website, so today, just to confirm, Star Wars: The Old Republic will feature space combat. So how is it going to work? 

Details are sparse at the moment but Bioware has let this small nugget out this evening:

"If you’ve been following the news coming out of the Star Wars: The Old Republic panel at Comic-Con International, you’ve heard the announcement that we will indeed have Space Combat as part of the TOR experience! But what does that mean? Space combat is an alternative gameplay experience to the primary game of storytelling, questing, and ground-based combat. In space combat, you fly your personal ship to various “hot spots” on your galaxy map. From there, you will blast your way through asteroid fields, enemy fighters, frigates, destroyers, and a variety of other obstacles that will evoke memories of some of the great Star Wars space battles."

According to Bioware further details will appear in the September issue of PCGamer, if anyone actually still buys mags.
