A non interacting mode would be useful in the game. For example showing historic battles or for alternate systems (domina shows you what could happen)
This could also be useful for mods, choosing station location to be built, being a general in battle, diplomatic and story based mods.

This is already possible. Just place the player in an invisible ship. You can make it immovable or movable as you see fit. Prophet and I had a very sweet prototype of a RTS in T working based on this principle. We might even still get around to completing it one day.

I have something very similar used for viewing in my cinematic mod:

It may work, if you adjust the stealth factor of armor.
Physics hurts! Especially when she's in a bad mood.
