6DoF means up/down, left/right, forward/back, pitch, yaw and roll.

Well, FreeSpace isn't a real fps, but it's very similar to it.(its a shooter and you fly in first person view:) Maybe, we could add a space combat simulator tag for these games, but then we need another for space trading and combat simulator games like x²/³, VegaStrike... ... and then we can spit them again in first-person and third person view... - sub-categories are endless and confusing...
