You have a rich universe that can be applied to just about any genre, but since you are all about strategy, as well as having a supposedly cooperative relationship with Relic Entertainment, why not make an RTS game? You can still apply the asymmetry your endless 4x games are known for but in an RTS fashion. Whether fast paced StarCraft style, chaotic visceral company of heroes style  or Grand Total War style, any would fit but I know you guys will find a way to put your spin on it

Imagine giant slow unfallen seconds slapping away swarms of cravers, as they vine regions to mine resources and expand. Riftborn's manipulating time to slow down a united empires counter attack,  Vodyani's would have their mobile arks, moving around the map siphoning essence and of course our Vaulter boys teleporting behind the enemies defenses to attack the fragile backlines.

The possibilities are.....Endless

I like the idea of a RTS game but what i think would fit more would be a RPG x4 style game with an emphasis on the devs theme of making your own canon/universe.

For example, start on Auriga and help say the Drakken and their 7 heroes successfully get off of Auriga before it dies, and from there play in a galaxy of your style, say the unfallen aren't in your galaxy or Horatio isn't around. Help in changing the balance of power in the galaxy, say the Hissho gain galactic supremacy, or the United Empire is crushed into ruin. Interact with the Heroes of ES2 as well as those you saved on Auriga, maybe even go commander Shepard with them. The possibilities of a x4 style RPG game are literally endless.

I bring this back out of the gave to point something else :

We are far from being the only ones. And the answers to those comments made years ago do mention RTS, if I remember correctly.

Hell, I tried anything to 100% the Love Thyself game, not just because of the beautifull beings in the game, but just because anything Endless related is straight up gold.

If done right. I did not bought nor intend to buy the Awakening DLC for Endless Space 2.

Edit : A rogue Vodyani would be extra interesting... o.o

And a Mavros follower would be cute. And terryfying. And cute, but with some kind of rocket launcher with a gatling gun attached. Same for a Sophon really, but the Sophon would be a mechanic with callous yet enthousiast disregard for safety regulations. ^^
