all combat takes place on the same plane as far as ship to ship goes, this is for the sake of not overloading the player with stuff he has no time to do).

So basically the same as ground based combat, or naval, or an overhead view of spaced based combat?


i turned into what amounts a physics free launch point for air to ground attack on opponents that have zero chance of fighting back i nany case

The first few units produced in a skirmish may not have much anti-air capability, but that will change relatively quickly. Try attacking any moderate to large group alone in dragon form and you probably will not last very long (or even relatively small groups, depending on the unit).


so small i would have to squint to even recognize what they are supposed to be

So zoom in.
