So we have sins of a solar empire, endless space, and a few others, but why not an Eve RTS. I love RTS games and often play them when I need a break from other stuff. I am not asking for an RTS that represents Eve as it is now but here is my idea.

Start from the beginning, get Eve lore out there in playable format. Start somewhere before the capsuleer technology was created go through the story of Amarr rising to power, use the histories of all the races but in an RTS format. Imagine a game that starts out with a known system but over the course of gameplay, expansions etc all the races stories are told all in the massive universe of Eve online. The other sci-fi rts games attempt a large scale universe, but Eve has a history and lore that is unsurpassed by any other sci-fi game out there (excepting the original homeworld and homeworld 2).

Imagine and RTS game with all of the eve ships at your disposal in giant battles that span thousands of systems over time and tell the story of Eve. Who knows if done well it may pull even more people into Eve itself. Am I the only one who feels that an Eve RTS would be awesome? Please someone tell me I am not the only one who would love to play an Eve RTS in my downtime. The only drawback I see would be AFK miners playing it while they AFK mine.

You do understand that game development does not happen in a vacuum, right?
