Is it a shooter if you have to gain the ability to shoot? Because Chubby Cherub would also make that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagusSmurf | 577 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Demanding a "vessel" seems purely a setting thing. Whether the graphics and story depict the thing you're controlling as a spaceship, a teenage girl, or a scantily clad gay bodybuilder is totally irrelevant.
