"We just don't have any inputs that can easily specify six degrees of freedom across tens to hundreds of ships."

Or even thousands. Which Homeworld didn't have to contend with.

I wonder if the ships losing access to the Z axis (their hopping ability, if you will) has anything to do with the extended turn time after 1.13. Turn off the 3D calculations to cut down on the combat calculation? Or if not maybe it should be considered.
