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

Don't skip the tutorials. Learn to dock without the autodock. Never fly without a rebuy (the amount to pay to respawn with your previous ship's setup should you die, otherwise you lose everything)!

HOTAS and HOSAS are welcome, they definitely add to the experience. HOSAS is better for combat but HOTAS is really nice too. I'm on a HOTAS myself.

I'm gonna chime in and say you don't need a HOTAS setup, I played quite well on just a steam controller, and that translated exactly into the steam deck.

OP already has both HOTAS and HOSAS setups, so was just answering their question.

Right but more than OP are reading for ideas. If a random user thinks they need a hotas, they don't.
