Being able to command such a ship is a reason to play DW. And from there who knows ?
But that's exactly the wrong direction to go for DW, as it's strength is exactly the detail and the quality of that detail.
I fear it will be a poor experience to look vor visual pleasure in a simulator that was born not to care a darn about graphics but to spend all resources in direction realism... It's like if you born a child, it was a boy, but you want to turn it into a girl lol. (I think it gives the idea)

Btw, HFRO is one of the sub movies with the most factual errors
