Her name was Angel.

Anyway from the sound of it Arena is just figther combat, and that's it, no story, no cutscenes.

I'm sorry but after XWing and Freespace, the Wing Commander's space flight experience feels empty, I always played WC for the story and not the flight experience. so hopefully either they have a nice story or.. well they have battles on a large scale like freespace and Xwing series.

Hmmm.. interesting. Well, they didn't make a real space sim cause only a limited amount of people still play those. The game CAN still be a nice arcade VS shooter, we'll have to see how it plays when it's released lar.
