    I have to wonder if they’d be more interested if you’d said you fly a space ship with a HOTAS (as in Elite Dangerous).

      I got really into elite dangerous at one point. I never got a HOTAS though, but I’d considered it.

      How is the game these days?

        I wouldn’t know! I’m currently exploring the black, and that hasn’t changed much! I think it’s had some improvements, though, since Horizons. They maybe added a new ship…? Still one of the best space flight sims.

        On the other side of the coin, No Man’s Sky added walkable ship interiors to their new Corvette class ships, so they’ve basically added everything Star Citizen promised, just with more cartoonish graphics. Either are still great choices for scratching that space exploration itch.

          I’ve tried no mans sky a few times and couldn’t get into it.

          I never grinded enough to get an anaconda, but I did make a few first discoveries while jumping around.

          I think my ship is so far out that every time I play, I get bored trying to jump to anywhere relevant.
