Battles in space for the future

[Stardouser]

Have the devs ever expressed any interest in space combat? I mean, if it were possible you'd want to see dropships entering an atmosphere, but that's probably NOT possible. However, what might be possible is if there were orbital space defense stations that you had to capture before you could begin an assault on a planet.

Capital ships that can spawn light bombers and fighters, breaching pods that can drill through the wall of an enemy capital ship or space station, and, if your advance breaching pod teams can get the docking bay shields down, you could land Galaxy transports right in the docking bay of a capital ship or space station.

I mean, there could be varying tactics, for example, against an enemy capital ship, hammer away at its shields and then its hull until it's destroyed, send in breeching pods to get some stealth teams in there to get the shields down faster, etc. Heck, individual stealth soldiers could possibly use EVA suits to make assaults...

anyway, I'm sure it's not on the table for release but what about 3 years from now as an expansion?
