First off, Neutron, well Done!!! I'm finding the game very fun so far. The interface is very slick in parts. The AI for the other empires is also very well done. The Tech tree is deep and detailed and the ships seem well balanced.
I have how-ever found one small thing that bugs me. The Camera Control in combat, or rather the lack there of. The Top Down view is nice and being able to scroll in is also useful. I notice if I hold down the middle mouse button (the scroll wheel) that I can tilt the view but here's where the controls get weird. Up becomes down, down becomes up, and there's no way to reverse it. Also as soon as I let off of the middle mouse button the view snaps back to top down.
How about a "Free Camera" mode so we can move around the battle field as we want. That way we can get all those awesome close up tilted views we see in the demo videos.
Add to that I would like the ability to "lock on" to the planet too just like you can "lock on" to ships.
Does the lacking camera modes have somthing to do with the limitations of the 3d engine or somthing?
