From a practical standpoint, the strategic advantages of maneuvering in three dimensions during a battle are massive -- while there is no [[Stealth in Space]], moving in three dimensions will add another axis of movement to any attempt to [[Sci
One consequence of this is that whenever "intentional" use of the third dimension pops up in a story, it is somewhat ''less'' realistic -- now, instead of [[2-D Space]], you have [[Old School Dogfighting]], which treats Space as though it has an atmosphere, and spacecrafts are as maneuverable, if not more so, than aeroplanes. Though admittedly this does look pretty [[Rule of Cool|frickin' cool]], especially if the CGI department gets to cut loose with their skills. However, almost never do we see two ships just happening to approach each other at different orientations in a normal no-fighting scene.
