You can move in complete 3D just like in a game like Homeworld), but it's more that your effective speeds are slow enough that you can't perform fantastic maneuvers (though the Evasive Maneuvers skill you get at, like, Level 3 helps).<br /><br /><br />Saying that STO's space combat is like a simpler Starfleet Command is pretty much spot on. And that's one of the reasons why I really like it. SFC was a really great game.RJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10492971146589461692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-20172429150767998602010-02-02T07:55:39.460-08:002010-02-02T07:55:39.460-08:00In other words, they took the Star Fleet Battles b...In other words, they took the Star Fleet Battles board game, and made a computer version.

The 2D simply works better with the IP.Rohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090769681887119989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-7260924042179063822010-02-01T22:58:36.785-08:002010-02-01T22:58:36.785-08:00Better Z axis support is what the game needs.

Not being able to use the "vertical" to maneuver, perform standard dogfighting maneuvers, or even invert the ship, severely limits the potential of space combat in this game.<br />I did pre-order and lock in the discounted 1-year rate.
