What do we name this new genre?

Assuming Cruiser Command will become a real standalone game separate from Starcraft 2, discuss the possibilities and ideas for such a game.

Cruiser Command is in the sense and definition, a new genre. There are no games like it, only a few remote cases like guns of icarus and FTL, but they do not follow the core concept of cruiser command, hence they are only remotely related.

So what is this new Genre? What is the basic concept of it that we can define that is unique? And what should we call it?
You merely adopted Cruiser Command. I was born in it, molded by it.

One day a wise man introduced me to this game. "It shall protect your virginity, my lad" he said.

Dont touch me you filthy casual.

Indie? - there are plenty of games without a genre, I wouldn't worry about it too much? for example, how would you classify icarus and FTL?
