Been there, done that. Eating, reading, watching a movie, even sleeping, you can feel the motion and smell the salt air. The ship is a part of you. For me, no game can ever replicated that, at least not the current generation. I put the game in to get away from reading, sleeping and the boredom of real life. If there was some kind of helmet or real-life holodeck, then sure.
But that's just me.
On the other hand I've been playing computer subsims for twenty-five years.
