This is one of those things that will have to be done, but we as players can be satisfied with even if its really simple.
a long term goal could be something like in homeworld, however as a demo feature it could be a simple top down map with only two dimensions and nametags, even just a camera looking down over the battlefield could act as a map.
this is a medium priority feature and should come after some modifications and tweaking, make combat work well before the maps come in.
happy coding josh.

Re: rts map mode
I support this, having a nice overhead of the situation would be very helpful. Maybe you need some sort of command vessel to do this?

Re: rts map mode
The Freeworlds mod for Freelancer actually has a feature like this, where you can zoom out and see a map of all the ships in the system.
