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.

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.

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

I love this game so much. Coming from Eve and some others that I don't really have the time for anymore.

I picked this up based on this comment and it’s really great, thank you for the recommendation!

I'll check this out! Thanks :)

You. You did this to me. I've been playing this practically non stop for two weeks now.

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