I love how the ships fly in 3d dimensions. I've seen it in Galaxies at War 2.0 mod (http://www.moddb.com/mods/gaw).
I've not known how they made ships turn this way, but definitely there is the way to do it

 

PS: GAW is not finished. Don't look at this. Just do some big space battle and watch.

Well to be honest playing as Borg and wiping out Palpatine  + rest of the gang was very satisfying. Ho, ho, ho!

 

But sadly mod as a whole is late beta at best. It works OK for whooo 3-5 minutes of galactic time flat. Building big fleet is not possible (but editing starting fleets works). As soon AI start to show some initiative game just grind to a crawl. And for me it always CTD. 100%.

 

For a 1 person project it is highly impressive job. Great fun. Sadly it's not finished...

Snubcraft fly in 3d space in EaW, its probably that mechanic applied to bigger ships.

Millenium Falcon does it on it's own. My guess would be it uses the FIGHTERLOCOMOTR and the FIGHTER ship classification.

Increased turn angles, so when a ship turns it can go nearly 90 degrees on its side. In vanilla the turn angle was like, 15 at max.

 

<Bank_Turn_Angle>5</Bank_Turn_Angle>

to

<Bank_Turn_Angle>30</Bank_Turn_Angle>

should do the trick.
