@Thanatos that has always bothered me

as spacecombat follows the format of naval

theres no "Space aircrafts" 😛

cause you sail in the space

@Dr.Wol that’s what I was getting at, the space marines have their own ships.

..But in space you can go up.

carriers, frigates, destroyers ect

Or down.

ever heard of a submarine?

They aren’t marines for that reason and many more

Yeah

Submarine.

they can go up and down

in the sea

In space the combat is 3 dimensional

Every ship in space can go up and down.

You can go anywhere

true

It’s not a flat plane

but the sea isnt a flat plane either

Not in technicality cuz the earth is a sphere

Space fighters?

but boats can't just go over another one

But compared to space and the combat style in it, it’s as good as flat

Its closer related to ships/submarines

Because airplanes require force to stay in the air

But in space (or water) you can stand still without expending energy

unless you play Battlefleet Gothic (BFG) thats 2D

True, but you can't shoot a cannon at a submerged submarine.

No, no you can’t.

Effectively*

Unless-

its air-fight with brakes 😉

you cant stay still in space without effort if your ina system

gravity ect

Meanwhile in space, you'd have no issue with shooting anyone anywhere.

Nop

Someone shooting your bridge? Rotate.

Why even have elevated bridges?

but in space games the sizes of the ships make 'just rotate' not practical

Why not just have a bridge within the ship that’s connected to a mass of cameras?

We talking Jem'hadar bridges like in ds9?

I haven’t watched Star Trek in ages
