Was thinking something more along the lines of other ship talk like "Coming about!" or "Heave!" or Letting it ride true!" but I guess "Lateral motion" would work lol.
Activate the lateral motion machine crewman! Let the beast slide!

Strafing is a tactic that many ships in the game can do currently. Don't build ships around tactics build them around strategy.
If you want to fly a strafing ship fly a no ram pyra and make the side guns your primary side. engage fast from on high and use your strafing (Witch means a high speed fast gun run in air combat.) side to start a fast tight orbit around your enemy until you can escape out of combat.
You would need to use fast short range heavy damage guns and serious pilot balls but this is totally doable and would be incredibly rewarding.
The hardest part of strafing and the thing that would make it super interesting in GoI is having to plan your escape route so that you can escape quickly but also get back to the fight before the enemy can regroup.
What you guys are taking about is moving sideways. We should find a new name for movement in that dimension for ships.
