You are of course right, but maybe, given the power of the ship and her futuristic computers controlling thrusters, a ship could roll as it changed trajectory, (even utilising the asteroids gravity and cover) and maybe to present a different shield or armament and 'look' as if it's banking?
;o)
Maybe it is purely an aesthetic, to look good to the people that do not realise?
But, I did enjoy Babylon 5's Star FuryFighter meanuevers ;o)
Good luck with the CGI field, it's a total mystery to me :o)
