Ships could use more options on how to control where they are going. Adding in left/right strafing as an option to use instead of turning is good.
Reverse thrusters would be useful as well.

I would like this, as this would make the space battles feel more like... Space battles. I wonder how this will be implemented control-wise and AI-wise. Control wise, this would be perfect for numpads, however on laptops, how should we go around this?

This will be in a mod as soon as George implements the "arbitrary keybindable command events for mods".

I mean, it's in a mod now actually, it's just hardly usable and takes your launcher slot.

Someone asked about this in the George chat and I believe he commented that it would be something that he'd like to see tried out in a mod first.
