I suppose you could make a mod...... where you could "pilot" one of the ships during combat... kinda like SimCopter? Dunno... I do like the view from the starmaps and tatical combat screen (I like MOO2's control on the combat screen too - but the screen need to be bigger.... like SEIV. hmmm...).
I think the key to this is optional... there are people out there that do not have good eye-hand control, but that does not mean that couldn't be a good general... (mind vs. brawn).... Compare MOO2 to Homeworld...
DAMN! You mean I could have been using my joy stick to play this game!
Wait --- That came out wrong!
