Is there any possibility of seeing aerial combat in game?
 
I'd love to see some kind of FPS style flight system added in so we can dog fight the other faction. Every time I see those combat ships in Thayd I always think how we should be able to fly those around. :)

			There are missions where you fly them against NPCs :).

			Cool, so the mechanics are there, we just need a zone. :)

			Its an on-rails shooter like Star Wars had initially, but yes, it's in.

If swtor can do it, carbine can. 
 
I fully expect this to be in drop 3 or I'm canceling my sub! Heh

			Please don't ruin WildStar with horrid, gimmicky mechanics like aerial combat.

Why? It wouldn't ruin WildStar. Aerial combat is a pretty fun idea. I don't expect more of it in Wildstar for a year, but would be fun to see down the road.

Have you seen how flight destroyed world pvp in WoW? If not, gi check out the forums and the madsive amount of people pleading to get it REMOVED from the game.
 
How about Aion? The moment you got into a fight with someone, it just turned into a 15 min long flight potion battle. Whoever had more flight pots was the victor.
 
While I can admit that flying does have a certain attractiveness, the mechanics that suffer because of it often make flight not worth the trouble.

This adds a huge degree of complexity.  Z-index stuff so I doubt it.  They already had issues with abilities like crush missing because you were at different heights to mobs.
 
You should notice if you jump over a mob quite high you still aggro it because everything is splatted to the same level on the Z-index.  If they changed this they'd need to make loads of changes.
 
The ability is there for them to do it..so like you say, a separate zone where there's different stuff going on could happen but would still require a lot of time I think.
