Anyways, I was wondering how far into development the 2d, top-view version went (IIRC as done by WMCoolman ?)

Maybe I should do a Super Aleste/1942 style mod and trump even Shadows of Lylat for nostalgia value ?

I think he's talking about this:

I've played around with it (Super Freespace Kart!) and it holds promise, but I haven't heard much about it lately.

Far as I know, it works. But, I don't think I ever added the variable for camera distance from ship.

Try starting a mission and check the '2d mission' box in the mission specs. That should be all that's needed.

Edit: AI sucks, except for turrets, but that'll be a project in and of itself to fix properly.

Could it be possible to exclude ships from the 2d only movement? Or is that just asking for trouble?

Probably wouldn't need full-blown  AI.
