The reason why there’s such a push for fps, is because that’s a more visceral experience. With that, there is opportunity to bring in new customers.
I would also like to see an rts for controlling armies on planets, I even made a thread about it previously, (unfortunately the pictures are no longer in the archived topic.)
That said, I want to see this current fps effort succeed. It has the potential to completely eclipse EVE Online in terms of player base.
