Even though I would love to have actual fps combat, I just don't think it's possible on a single shard server. Trying to render the ships, landscape, buildings, and who knows how many people would just be too much and the game play would probably be trash anyways. I would rather have a fair and straight forward approach, that is fluid and plays well. Compared to something that is going to be connection based and be a coin toss on who wins because of lag compensation. Just my 2 cents.
