I've been looking around for a good space combat simulator in the old wing commander or x-style (but obviously updated). I tried one called Nexus: The Jupiter Incident, and it was pretty good overall, but the pace was a little too slow - lots of waypoints. Does anyone have any suggestions? Something with a cockpit based view, that has a lot of options to upgrade the ship, and some good combat action?
Elite dangerous looks pretty good. I haven't played it but it looks pretty complex and fun. Here's a review of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7-oIo-e5b4
