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

I'm hopeful for Starship simulator. It is not out yet, but it looks promising. I've always wanted a game with a ship with a working crew you interact with or become a part of. I have not ever found anything good enough.

I enjoy X4, but I actually though the exploration aspect in Rebirth was better (unpopular opinion I'm sure). I do like how you can give your captains orders and then just hitch a ride and see how it goes.

Everyone always says FTL, which is fun, but the crew don't really have roles or personalities. They are there and they man the ship, but that's it. And you're always in a rush to do anything which always just ends with a space battle.

Similar for Space Haven. If the crew has assigned departments and ranks rather than just assigned tasks I think it would be closer.
