I don't know how the combat in SF has been done yet - whether it emphasizes tactical combat or dogfighting ('twitch' combat). If the emphasis is on tactical (i.e., managing your weapons, power, shields, security, away teams, etc.), then 2D is no problem whatsoever. I've played Starfleet Commnad extensively. The SFC series is 2D tactical space combat, and it's great. Anyone who's played it will tell you tactical space combat on a 2D plane is not a liability if it's done right, and it can be really fun. If you want dogfighting, play Freelancer.
