Perhaps RTS is not the right word?
Tactical game seems to be a better fit since RTS implies building units and sending them into the meat grinder while tactic games like Ground Control rely on you making do with what you have available.
The game gives the player enough control over his fleet and with officers being able to learn most combat related skills much faster than the player character there is little point in engaging in combat yourself.
Heck if it wasn't for the operations center addon i'd pilot an unarmed kite and wouldn't even bother deploying my character into the battlefield (he has no combat skills anyway since i invested everything into industry and technology)
Besides the AI is better at flying then me anyway.
Either way playing the game "passively" is fair game ever since officers were added.
