About the starmap, keep in mind that in a game we, the player, are roleplaying an Imperator, President or whatever you wanna call it, and a President have an staff to give him all information well detailed, so when i look to the starmap I don't expect to see a Galaxy like looking at the real stars, but a representation of the information that my aids gave me upon which I'll make my decisions for the whole Empire.
So I don't care for a "real" starmap, but for one that tells me clearly which system is closer and which one is more strategically important. If you can make a 3D starmap that acomplish this, then is ok with me, but if the 3D starmap is in any way confusing, I would keep the current starmap, because I don't have an staff next to me when I'm playing to ask them what I need to know.
I can even argue that the current Starmap is a 2D representation of real Space to show the distances in an understandable way.
I'm all for a better 2D starmap, but I have big doubts about a 3D map.
Even if we get a 2D starmap with rotation planets I would hope that I can turn that thing off and play with stationary planets.
I expect to be an all powerful Imperator, not a lowly starship commader that needs to worry about planet orbital location in a system!
