I wish they applied that with homeworlds 3D control so you have a 3d tactical to it and so ship range, area placement, flanking, reinforcement and other such things came into play.
The current just reminds me of watching a battle from the 1700s when two sides line up and meet in the middle and start shooting. That is what ground battles are. Space battles need to be 3D X,Y, and Z axis.
