I remember the devs saying the reason that they couldnt do full 360 was cause the engine couldnt hadle it, but that was back in OB. Ive been browsing the archives trying to find it cause of an argument we got into in Fleet, but I cant get Search to search the archives. Anyone got a link to what I need?
My understanding of the limitation on ship movement was that the devs felt that it would be too disorienting to many players, not for a canonical reason. Honestly, I didn't really care that much until today when I came across a patrol mission that took place in the rings around a planet like normal, but the ring was angled. Now maybe this was a graphical glitch on my end, but I was happy to see a different environment until I realized the angle was *slightly* more than my ship could handle.
I wasnt saying it was cannonical. Ever since, ppl have been saying the devs said it wasnt possible cause of the game engine (which isnt true - in OB I saw a Miranda get hit by a Plasma torp and flip over backwards before exploding and the game didnt crash).
