Originally you dodge towards your cursor with a hard-coded key ('d' ?).
This may be a more or less intuitive concept, however there were some complaints that dodging is only used during combats, and where is the cursor when fighting? - It's usually right on/at the enemy, and moving the cursor a away (and back) would just need too much time, with some (low) chance that if you clicked on a non-walkable spot nothing happend at all.

So the work-around was to dodge in 90° angle to the right (key 'x') or to the left side (shift+'x') relative to the position where you are pointing/shooting at.

I agree that this key assignment is not perfect either, and this work-around perhaps better should be deactivatable or have been mooved into a separate mod.
The basic problem here was, the game has no functions to assign keys as a user (or even add additional key assignment as a modder).
 

Maybe not fully proportional, but specially the big tool boxes got an extra chance to 'drop' skill points now too.
 

This area already was there, just not accessible and completely empty.
Remind perhaps, there are no official modding tool for Space Siege (the tools form DS2 did not work directly, and I was glad that I got at least the mod viewer/tanke to work after some time).
So the possibilities to make it a playable area were quite limited, however the idea was simply to give you some time, not to start directly in the middle of a battle.
