How do you play like the picture shows? You know like wth th ships all over the place:up, down, left, and right. How do you do that? Instead of playing on a flat plain it just look wierd!

Those pictures are probably taken in Observer mode, where the camera isn't as restricted as the regular view. The players ships are always constrained, control-wise, to a single flat field. The game plays well enough that way; while it's true that full 3D motion would allow for some interesting attacks, it'd cause a lot of headaches... how would damage be distributed? How do we rebalance ships with new upward and downward armor/weapon arcs? We barely have enough people playing now to really populate a flat battlefield... That is, it'd make defense even more of a nightmare than it is, if ships could just drop down into the center of a system, instead of approaching past all the lateral planets.
