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

That’d be much appreciated. From my time in star citizen I don’t mind sim style play over arcade. I think I might prefer it honestly - or at least some sort of balance

Well if you can deel with a very crusty Latvian ass, look for The Yamiks on youtube. He loves / hates the game, but knowledge is good. Agreed with the tutorials mentioned by @HidingCat.
Another YouTube channel worth exploring is Better Atronomy. A level headed German sounding bloke who is very technical.

There is an Elite Dangerous magazine here that had not taken off yet, but I am monitoring it from time to time. Ask questions.

Open can be dangerous, but the galaxy is vast. Expect ganking in high traffic systems. Fly in either Private or Solo when visiting engineering systems. There is a new commander safe zone that should at least get you started.

The game, is at best incomplete. I use inara.cz extensively as a companion resource. But that is for when you have left the starter area.

Never Fly without a Rebuy is a motto to live by.

Eddit to remove mention of eddb.io, which is no more. Inara does most things eddb did almost as well.

Ooo, I didn't think of looking the magazine up; thanks for mentioning, going to sub to that.

Is Eddie still around? I thought they shut down. There are still other tools, but they aren't the same.

You are corrct. I always mix inara and eddb up in my head. Inara.cz was the one I meant.
