10 games for 2015 but first lets have a look back at last years list http://spacesimcentral.com/ssc/topic/4234-ten-games-for-2014/ so out of the list Kinectic Void, Approaching Infinity and Void Destroyer are all out and being updated.

Interstelleria,Rodina and Pulsar are all in their Alpha/Beta and are being regular updated, Enemy Starfighter and Rogue System should with some luck be making an appearance this year. And finally Wayfarer and SkyJacker both have become lost in space and only time will tell if they will return.

So onto 2015 list and as last years list it will contain no games with names like Star Citizen, No Mans Sky or Valkyrie in the title.

A tactical space combat with some exploration based on real physics with procedurally generated single and multi-player open worlds.There will be some rpg/rogue-like elements, but very little crafting/grinding/leveling.

Shallow Space http://shallow-space.com/

A RTS as you command elements of the Terran Confederate Navy's Gamma fleet as you progress a diverse set of random encounters and scripted missions played out on a grand campaign map. An epic story awaits you as you prove your worth against the enemies of the Terran Empire. Design your fleet, building smaller ships to supplement your capital class vessels. Level your officers, strategically position your forces throughout the stellar system to combat insurgency. You will command factories and control the future of your fleet, but you are not building an economy.
