Craters in 2.0 seem to be exclusively from 90 degree impact angle. Please, change.

I like horizons. I like the way you can dive down to the surface of a planet far, far away from Earth. As realistic it it looks on the ground, there is still room for improvement. Currently all craters seem to be generated using a 90 degree impact angle over the planet's surface. It is not impossible to find some craters on existing stellar bodies with 90° impact angle, however, there is a wide range of angles making each crater look a little bit different then others. A vary shallow angle would/should leave a stretched impact crater - not circular as they are now.
As a real-live example, the meteorite which hit earth on Feb 15th, 2013 came in very shallow and would have created a stretched impact crater if it wasn't for the atmosphere. See:

Please, consider revising the impact angle to make the craters look more realistic.

Additionally: I've seen some planets which have a checker-board like pattern in which the craters are positioned. It looks odd, too.

May I bring your attention to this worthwhile article from 1999.

And this from the people running the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO)

Put simply, the kinetic energy of the object has to go somewhere and when it strikes a rigid surface the simplest conversion is into heat.
Craters are usually circular because of the explosion that follows a meteorite strike.

Everyone who read Lucifer's Hammer knows that, duh

Thanks for the links (+1 for that). It appears not as simple as I first thought. However, e.g. Fred Watson is quoted at http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2008/07/10/2299977.htm :

"Occasionally you see craters that are elongated and sometimes you see canyons that have been excavated by incoming meteorites."

So, a (now) agree that the majority appears to leave a round shape. However, very shallow angles do produce elliptical shapes, canyons, etc.
