When player clicks on the planet in top left window containing defendable of invadeable planets (or just on the Inner Sphere map), he's put forcibly into very strange perspective - very closely zoomed isometric view.

It serves no actual purpose. Depiction of the planet in this variant is just a zoomed blob on the Inner Sphere (there's another, beautiful depiction of the particular rotating planet in the window with planetary info), and by zooming to the max the player is denied info about relative location of the same planet - almost no neighbors are visible, and it's only seen on border with which faction the planet is located. We can't even rotate and/or zoom the isometric view manually - it only rotates slowly by itself.

Please reconsider this. Selection of the planet shouldn't punish us with tunnel vision. Moderate zoom-in with possibly a selection box/crosshair is enough to emphasize the selected planet. Leave it top-down or make controllable camera.
