Please allow control of the zoom level in the top down view.
While overall my favorite view, it starts out ok (a bit too far zoomed out, but good for begining) but rapidly zooms way to close in and often NO ships are actually visible as the dance around each other and I see the occasional beam/missile flash across the screen.
If the top down had a controllable zoom level, (whether one of a few pre-set, say close, medium, far; or just near completely controllable like several of the other veiw) Top down would be perfect (IMO).
As is, I generally watch the first few seconds, then get bored since I cant see anything and fast forward to the end.
