New possibilities? Not new as in new to gaming, just new as in taking some ideas from other genres... sidestepping isn't new, and I still think that it was a bad idea to put it in a space sim.. as for sliding, not sure what it is. But the combat just is easier to do than joystick combat... and its a lot less engaging and fun. I just don't get anywhere near the same amount of fun from clicking on enemies as I do actually flying my ship...
