Looking for a spaceship/sci fi game to play. Any thoughts? (kbin.social)

I’m a massive sci fi fan and played the ever loving shit out of Star Citizen for a while there. Loved the 6 degrees of freedom and the capability to be a person or a starship.

I know Starfield is coming in September and I’m excited for what is has to offer but in the interim does anybody have a sci fi/star fighter game they can recommend? I kickstarted Everspace 2 so I can give that a go and I’m almost done with the current No Man’s Sky expedition

Not first person, but Starsector is my go-to for my SciFi fix. Trading, pirating, smuggling organs and selling them on the black market, exploring star systems for suitable planets to establishing your own thriving colony...there is a ton of options and something for everyone.

That looks super cool! Not OP but thanks for the recommendation!

Oh nice, this totally reminds me of Escape Velocity back in the day. Looks like an updated version. I love it.

Starsector is closer to a strategy game version of escape velocity. A game closer to what you're envisioning would be Endless Sky

I hadn't heard of this before. Seems really fun. I'm going to have to try this out.

Like I need more space games to add to my already growing list!
