First person shooter elements in Stellaris

[BlackUmbrellas]

There was literally a parody thread not long ago that used "Stellaris needs FPS elements!" as a hook to open a "any other terrible idea that would never fit the game?" thread.

Of course we wont get FPS elements. They don't belong in a Paradox 4X/Grand Strategy game. At all.

As far as other genres go, I wouldn't mind later versions of Stellaris getting some RPG mechanics related to leaders. More traits, individual ethics for each leader, more abilities etc. If espionage system would be implemented and there would be more direct interactions with other species, I can totally see some leaders going rogue or traitorous.
