No one uses the Z axis in soase

from Sins Forums
been in about 35 multiplayer games and in every single match no one has bothered to use the z axis. i only see it with structures but thats not something the player can control. the way i see it people must think its pretty pointless to use it.

Honestly, there are so many other things to worry about when playing, I'm happy the Z-axis doesn't play a bigger role in the game. I have my hands full already, and I like commanding my empire from a zoomed-out view, which would make Z-axis tweaking near impossible.

Only useful thing i can think of is to stick your fleet ontop a star for a quicker response to any side.

Or for flying planet bombers up and over turrents and then coming straight down on top of a planet and hitting it while out of range of the turrents.

Depends on the person building defenses. There are some people that have got IQ's higher than sea level here.

I think in time, people will use this tactic/exploit (or whatever people will call it). It's just the game is so new and so subtly complicated, a lot of ideas haven't been fully explored.

I'm waiting for map makers to make real 3D type system maps. Man, that'll be mind bending! :SURPRISED:
