It would be great if we had more battle control a powerful ship is awesome but just like in star wars sometimes great ships like the Deathstar have horrible flaws that let a single fighter destroy something the size of a moon and that's even awesomer. Turned based control or RTS would be awesome but realisticly Im sure that would be a programming nightmare for such a processing hog like this game already is. How ever having more experienced ships fight smarter or gaining special moves would be awesome too so smart ships might work with other smart ships to set traps or make more critical hits. Might even be cool to have a list of skills the player can choose from as the ship ranks up. Thanks for letting me say my two cents have a nice day.
