Ok I dislike this forced camera view that seems to miss important battle actions by trying to make a movie style battle.I presume the A.I director will improve later in the beta but in my opinion this is going to frustrate people greatly.I recommend the player having the option to choose views in the UI himself as well as the cinematic view to ease annoyance.

The graphics are lovely so let the player choose what to see.

That's one of the reasons why I feel something doesn't feel quite right about combat. The camera is fixed as you point out and battle scenes can get a bit repetitive. We need more freedom as you say. That or more camera randomness. Right now looks like the shots are always identical. But, let's see what other folks have to say about this.

I would kill for a free camera mode

This has been suggested already: it's on our wishlist.

While we are on the topic would it also be possible to have an option to play a replay of the battle (and then be able to watch it from different angles and so on)?

One of my suggestions also. The chosen camera angles are not very flattering to the game/ships. A free mode camera would be awesome or a more ample pool of dramatic battle scenes to display.

As for the replay, it could be interesting too: wishlist!

free mode camera

more camera angles

Possibly also:

combat speed options

zoom options

surprise shots

We need more control on the cinematics and a bit more variety and unpredictability. Basically we need to direct our own movies

Currently battle scenes are a bit distracting and that's a shame not to take more of combat because the graphics are absolutely fantastic.

Would be good if you had bomber/interceptor modules (only availalbe on certain size ships) that whizzed and flew around in combat etc would make things look pretty sweet.
