when I order a ship to move on opposite direction the ship makes a half circle move to turn around. Like a car making a wide u-turn. Is there a way to make it rotate on its x-axis when moving? like a forklift.
Only by manually selecting destination points to coax it the way you want to go. Not what you want I am sure but the only way.
If you have noticed, ships move with inertia--they start out slow and build up speed--often if you target or order a move to a different point you can stop the forward motion and start another slow turn/acceleration. It helps some. Basically it's pretty similar to parallel parking a car
You might be able to mod the physics values of the ships so that they can turn on a dime, but that could have some interesting effects on repulse or other abilities that move ships.
As GoaFan said, try playing around with the physics of the ship within it's entity file. You can accomplish this type of turn by adjusting the angular acceleration (lower, I think) and deceleration (higher), but I bet you have to fiddle with the linear values too so the ship still moves fluidly.
