In this we agree. I was kiting some SBAs today and realized I'd better just put the camera in top-down mode in order to see them well when kiting north.

Snipers tilting the screen way back and viewing down the field or SD's fighting/chasing each other in combat (not for the easily disoriented weak stomach players). I noticed while watching the video you instinctively had much higher accuracy aiming your weapons to ships since you were firing at a fixed location on the screen instead of a moving one. There is definitely a benefit for this play style in different situations. Even if it stayed it's current buggy condition it's still playable, you wouldn't *have* to change anything.

Even if you don't allow the camera to be panned down any further than it is right now, at least make an option to let it "chase" the ship so that you don't have to face North all the time to see what you're doing.

I did try one DG with the camera panned all the way down and just tried to do most of my fighting while facing North. Players will LOVE this option if the camera chases the ship. I know I liked it, aside from the fact that I had to try facing North all the time.
