I've never played much in the way of space simulators, but I have sudden urge to do so.  I was thinking of getting the "X" series off gamersgate.  Or maybe Freelancer.  I do not have a joystick though.  So any ideas on joysticks and possibly Space PC games?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Fuck, this was suppose to be in the games HQ.  I wonder if I can delete it.  Apparently I can not.  Perhaps a nice mod will come by and move it maybe?  Or Seedy.

An aesthetically challenged mod moved it.

Frontier Elite was the pinacle. Nothing ever surpassed it.

Though Escape Velocity was also good.

Freelancer I remember being OK but that is all. Cool but shallow and short.

The Babylon Project http://babylon.hard-light.net/ has the virtue of being free.  It seemed pretty good when I played it, but I'm not into this kind of game.  It is old (based on Freespace 2), but costs only your time.

BSG online might occupy your time while your evaluating which of your choices to spend dollars on; it's "free", for a certain value of free, and almost solely limited to ship-to-ship combat.
