2D or 3D Starmap

[Sakul A.]

Greetings.
Are there any information about the starmap yet?
Will it be a 2D or 3D layout?
2D is much easier to navigate and you won't get lost. But 3D is much more realistic.
I hope it will be some kind of 3D map with the option to flatten the map (e.g. like in EVE Online)

it's been said that it'll geometrically be 2D but there'll be some graphical elements 'above and below' the plane for the sake of visual interest.
