Lol whatever you say guys. Go ahead and keep trying to shoot it down. I'll be sure to send you a private message smiley when they announce it.

No one doubts that they want to do it, but wanting to do it and actively developing it are two different things. I will celebrate the announcement tied to full off-the-rails space combat--should that announcement ever come. But I remain skeptical based on the very vague statements made so far.

In the end, the developers have NOT said they are developing 3D space combat. Though they very well could be, they have said nothing to date that should lead you to the conclusion that they are.

No. I'm just sick of seeing 3D used. The current space game is already "3D". The object move in 3 axis. Just because one direction is on rails doesn't change that fact.

Then you have you have hte problems that "3D" isn't what they are doing. Were not going to stick 3D glasses on and stare at the screen.

Its called "Free Roam" or "Free Roaming Space".

Stop saying 3D.

Good correction! Let's use "free roam" from now on. Otherwise the Devs may confuse what we want with what they currently have.

And I bet you $20 that people will whine because their load times are outrageous. Taking away exaustion zones because all of a sudden planets even bigger.

People know what you mean when you say 3D, which as you know, means three-dimensional--a definition completely suited to defining the type of control people are calling for.

As you know, the current space game only allows you to move along two axises--X and Y (height and width) or sideways and up-down. Giving us complete control of space flight could be appropriately called 3D space combat, translated to three-dimensional space combat.

If that isn't enough to convince you, here's wiki...

I don't think anyone would complain if you were right. We're simply arguing that you are making false assumptions based off what they have said.
