Lets Ships Move While They Fight!

Lets Ships Move While They Fight!

Everyone here says...

Seems everyone has the same opinion on the battles during the matches...
LET SHIPS MOVE WHILE THEY FIGHT!!!

The videos I have seen so far make the fights look a bit too much like playing chess with starships rather than a 4X/RTS game.

More strategy, advantages/disadvantages, etc. could be added by doing this. If all the battles are "stand still and shoot" I may have to cancel my pre-order at Gamespot. :(

I think one of the main reason it feels odd is due the fact it takes a little longer to kill off a ship.

I didn't want to start a whole new thread, and this one was closest to what I wanted to ask.

I notice that Fighters and Bombers fly in and out, dropping off their payloads and moving to a relatively safe distance before coming in again. Is there anyway to have other ships attack the way they do with a compensation for speed?

So Frigates will not receive any "dodge" bonus but it will sure make the battle look nicer (with them doing flybys on Capitals). Even if the Frigates don't attack as much as a result of this, that is fine by me.

So basically what I'm asking is, are the units personality moddable?
