Star Wars: The Old Republic devs have sent word that a new interactive 3D map of the galaxy has been added to the Holonet on the official site.
The map gives players a chance to check out each of the five known sectors of the galaxy, 3D models of player ships and planet profiles.
Check it out on the Star Wars: The Old Republic site.

Oh, wait gotta pull the WoW Card on this one too.
This looks so much like WoW.
/gasp
This actually looks really good. 3 more months!
not impressed...
yay!! loved it, they almost made me pre order it.
There Is Always Hope!
Pretty damn spiffy. Gives me hope that maybe a fully rounded space game will be added to SWTOR some day.

Very cool update! I really liked it. That is two for two. Last week the fantastic companion stuff and this week this map. You can tell they are ramping for launch now.
SEXEH!

This info came as a surprise although thinking about it we all seemed to have forgotten to think about a Galaxy Map... I am still curious about character creation... Ah well, maybe a nice idea for next week? :P
Oh that was fun! It was as if a first, tiny piece of game was coming to me! Wonderful. I explored it with childlike glee, hovering over planets ("Put it on screen!") and playing with starships. Wroom wroooom!
Fun! ^^

Looks great and so many more worlds than I was expecting
3D is a gimick. It doesn't really improve anything over stella artwork and can just look bad in digital media. It's an excuse for people to charge and extra $1000 bucks on a TV or computer system I guess, but nobody really wants it. Their is an inital novelty in digital media using it....a year or two later people aren't into it anymore since the novelty has gone. Nothing new anyway since it dates back to the last century.
Awesome. Better than this, only if it were trully 3D.
Men, they're really getting me hyped!
Bioware goes where no one was before. Epic and i have some Mass Effect feeling . They realy try to cover every aspect of the game. Amazing and nice work
I agree. It made me think of Mass Effect as well.
Be honest... what it really made ya think was... "WoW Clone!!!"
Afterall, smart ppl knows that Everything is a WoW Clone
Actualy I saw it and recognised it as the milkyway and thought "They cloned the galaxy map on NASA's website, it's a NASA clone!!!!!".
