First off, I know you can manuever your ships in 3d space, like in Homeworld. But, i have been wondering how exactly you would give the orders to make a ship move to another plane of space.

Secondly, this question is about graphics and ship destruction. As a ship gets hit i know it will start smoking and electric sparks will be pressent on its surface, but will it actually start falling appart. Like as one side of the ship gets hit repetedly its weapon platforms being falling off one by one or all together depending on the damage and its rate.
