Look at the image below- for some reason, a couple of light frigates are above the sun in this picture. I never saw this happen before.

I guess the Vasari ran out of time, because Chuck Norris caught up and is apparently screwing with my game....
Units have always been able to move in three dimensions. This is nothing new.
Don't they move around planets and suns, regardless? I'd say they move in 2.5, so to speak. They can stack and there is a difference in elevation, but even so, they all stay on relatively the same level.
I think I may have taken a shot that doesn't really portray what's happening- those frigates aren't just that high- they're in the middle of the sun, as you'd see if you were to look dirrectly from above. I see I left that out. My mistake.
No, they can move over or under planets or suns. They move in full 3D, it's just most players only give orders in 2D (since there isn't much tactical advantage - except for outright abuse like going over or under minefields or exploiting that starbases have a weapons blindspot directly above and below them)
Huh. News to me! I've only seen ships circle them, and when I hold down alt, it looks a rim around the sun is a no-go zone.
I don't know why I had that misconseption. I could have sworn nothing has ever moved threw a planet. Rather embarressing, actually. I've been playing since before Entrenchment. 
3D FTW! (no I don't use it as an exploit (I might start against the AI, hehehehe), and no, I don't play online).
The only reason it's an exploit is that you can't place stationary defences in 3D.
