Hi! What games can you recommend me where you have to command one or more capital ships and go vs other capital ships or fighters.The emphasis should be on simulation, so all of the features of a capital ship should be included.And it should not be a dogfighting like it mostly is in the X games, it should rather be like in a simulator: you command a whole crew as to what should they do and take everything into account, be prepared for anything, also every thing you do has it's consequences (mostly). It should not be like in Battlefield where you get in a vehicle and command it all yourself. You need to rely on your crew, which does the job, you just have to command...like a pro.It's not a problem if it's more of a strategy, but I'm specifically looking for those that are close(or closer) to being a simulation game.

Maybe you'll like Starshatter: The Gathering Storm a lot. It's basically Falcon 4.0 in space-dynamic campaign wise, and you can take control of fighters or capships as well as commanding your allies.

I've only played a bit of it, but Nexus: The Jupiter Incident is usually considered a good example of that kind of game.

Gearbox Entertainment has Homeworld and will be re-releasing the first two in "remastered" form: http://www.homeworldremastered.com/[/url] There is, or was (haven't heard much from them lately) a team working on a prequel/sequel to Homeworld, but it apparently is more ground focused. Its a project by former Homeworld team members that had a project, but were retroactively given permission to actually call it a Homeworld title by Gearbox: http://blackbirdinteractive.com/games/[/url] However they seem to have been inactive for a while now. Both projects have been rather silent for a longish time, actually.

Wonder what's wrong with gamemakers nowadays. Out of sudden, giant gamemakers stop making sci fi n military combat sims n strategy games. There are always sci fi n military fans who are ready to buy quality games of these genre anytime. They made it as fans like us only in tiny numbers. We want homeworld 3
