True, you could turn in any direction as easily as any other using thrusters, but in space there is "inertia" which would cause G forces. The best direction to take these forces is (for humans anyway) in the normal direction of gravity. A human can take a lot more G forces in a "downward" direction before blackout. But significantly less in an "upward" direction before "red-out". So therefore, evasive manuvers in space would need to entail banking manuvers just like in an atmosphere. That was one of the things I did not like about the X-wing series of PC games... no inertial simulation.
