Originality for the sake of originality isn't always a good thing though. Something like thrusters with a very limited non-recharging fuel supply would force you to be very very careful with their application which would probably have been too big a step towards a serious simulation and they've openly said that's not what they were aiming for at all.
The books have never really gone into space fighter combat either.
As ever, its a game and gameplay is going to take precedence.

OK, so it looks like a much slower paced Rogue Leader for beginners (The Rogue Squadron games were never kind enough to give a lead-in indicator of where to shoot, or to highlight enemies) but its just a single level, not an entire game.
Saying as it is just a single level, its pretty damn polished.
