About XYZ axis maneuvering
I personally think that the devs are just lazy, and don't want to change the game. I think the engine is pretty capable of handling it, it can handle floaters and the like.
To solve the disorientation issue, there would be a 'Right Ship' button on the HUD, such as the sensor analysis and carrier commands.
The only really game changing thing that I can think of is that the A/D keys would be roll control and the W/S keys would be pitch/yaw. So completing a turn would be a slight learning curve. You would have to initiate your roll then pull up.
I like the idea, but it wont ever happen:(

They could ad an option
As mentioned, yes, STO (and the Cryptic Engine) is completely capable of full 3D movement.
See: Floaters, and Champions Online.
And as again mentioned, yes, it's an artistic reason (and/or because it would confuse players (see: people not knowing how to move around via the Risa Floaters)) why they chose not to allow players to go directly up/down or increase the angle you can go up/down further.

That particular issue is easily solved... Just make a automatic "roll" on keypress/release, so that the ship reorients itself when you release any given key and the ship is upside down.
I did it for BC, so I assume professional developers could, if time was assigned, do the same.
Personally I also like if ships are all aligned but the confinement of half-3D motion is somewhat... TRIBBLE.
This.
Thats especially anoying for larger ships like cruisers and carriers.
bridge commander is one of the best ST games ever, and you could do loops, or whatever the hell you wanted, its also one of the most "trek-like" games of all ST games, both in story and gameplay.
also i'm not sure i would say STO has a "sea ship feel" to begin with, considering how ridiculously agile, ships can be in this game, compared to every other ST game.
it isn't even that game changing, in pvp if you're flying slow ships, it will be easier to maximize damage(from broadsides and such) as it should and if you're flying an escort, you'll no longer have to worry about the dumb "screwdrive" tendency long PvP fights turn into, and in pve it will have no difference at all actually.
As for the person who asked the first op, go to the nearest planet/ship or something and orientate your ship accordign to that. As when the devs build the worlds and the planets they mostly put everything on the same plane , even waypoints.
full 6dof like what there is in star citizen ain't gonna happen cause it's a limitation of the game design, as for just adding vertical and horizontal flight we already have that just look to the risa jetpacks, they just need to map those commands to any button that is not already mapped or remap z and x to the ventral and dorsal thrusters moving what you had mapped to another key.
