I'll brifly summarize things from the first thread.
Freelancer was originally designed for fighters, freighters weren't thought much as a combat vessels. As a result, control of capital ships, which appeared later in mods, is somewhat deficient and inconvinient.
Eventually, the solution was found how to make keyboard to steer ship instead of camera in turret view, which makes control of capital ships much better if not everything to desire. This is very easy to implement itself, but obviously it makes capitals much better and changes balance in various aspects.
So feel free to express your opinion if this feature is wanted and worth the work needed to keep balance (and possibly other work related to changes). Do you want to be able to control capitals better or you prefer snacing them easier more, do you like flying and fighting capitals like ships allows by their construction not limited by control inefficiency, or you are accustomed to current patterns of combat and don't want changes.
