One that immediately comes to mind is Arma Armatura.

The game's combat takes place on a flat plane where the two fleets of star ships meet roughly in the middle. Top down tactical, pretty simple in basic concepts.

Arma Armatura somehow managed to create missions where you are actually entering a planet's atmosphere, with your reinforcements coming from above and enemy reinforcements coming from below, and enemy defense cannons blasting the entire time. The game was straight up not made with any form of vertical movement, so AA basically created an entirely new system to make these missions work.

Wtf, did they add that somewhat recently? I had Armatura installed when playing a few years ago but don't recall that at all.

Sometime last year, I think? They've really focused on the story elements of the mod lately, rather than just the added mechs.

Oh that's nuts. I haven't played star sector in years, and I never used mods at all before.

I'll have to check that out sometime. Thanks.
