Theaters of War should be going to Evocati soon!

....People have gone to wars for a lot less/more than resources and territory, look at the US civil war between pro slave and no slave, look at the UK civil war between monarchy and no monarchy.... admit it, if someone insults the Glorious Leader we'll be taking up arms to defend his honor, especially if it's by those spreadsheet lovin' squares from ADI

People make war when they believe the benefits will be greater than the cost of the war. The South seceded because they believed their slave-powered plantation economy would support the war and thrive without Union interference. Oops.

A whole lot of TESTes would happily go to war to avenge an insult to Dear Leader, but they won't sacrifice the ships they've spent in-game time earning a second time without a ship replacement program. In an economy that's 90% NPC-driven, what will ever be so profitable that it covers the cost of a massive TEST war fleet with profits to spare?

The Ministries of Love, Peace, Plenty, and Truth deem this part of your answer the only acceptable part. Remember Montoya is watching.

But what of the UK civil war? There was no 'cost' improvement in the 1600's it was about who was in the top seat and whether they liked by/cooperated with everyone else or not. Very ideological with some of the pro monarchists even believing the king was put there by God themself and the other side having people so far right they wanted to ban dancing and Christmas. Something a lot of people don't focus on is the no-monarchists won, the monarchy was ended with Regicide and the country moved into its new phase which according to most reports was excessively puritan, with the banning of dancing and Christmas - and then the monarchy was restored by parliament in 1660 with no civil war at all so were the benefits less than the cost of a war would have been...? Other than the previous king being a bit of a prick and the Monarchy being reinstated with some new clauses and change of direct influence, what exactly was the point of it all other than chopping off one mans head?

There is a lot being set up in the Lore right now that will result in conflict that won't be simple territory or resource competition.

That is where TESTs [Corporate Efficiency] will come into play!

I am looking forward to this I hope it is a real good attempt at FPS.

Star Marine was good fun to start off with but then it was given no love and degenerated into a homeless bum along with the server lag etc.
