Starship Simulator video game created by Dan Govier, making the spaceships like real-life navy ships, complete with all the wiring and plumbing.
The game takes place in a huge Galaxy that’s as big as the real thing, with tons of other planets and creatures to explore.
“Welcome to Starship Simulator, a deeply immersive space exploration sandbox that combines fully simulated, realistically designed starships with a full-scale Milky Way galaxy, driven by real astrophysics. Watch the stars drift by in real-time as you venture out into the vast unknown reaches of space, all while quietly sipping a drink in your starship’s luxurious officer’s lounge.”

This is exactly the kind of space game I’ve been dreaming of for years! While arcade shooters are fun, there is something so incredibly immersive about a game that focuses on actual scientific exploration and realistic ship operations.
