And no matter your desired level of game 'realism' there are two things that the program cannot simulate and you should be thankful that it cannot.
The first is the horrible smell of all the different organic and even inorganic materials on board (to say nothing of the crew who are the bulk, sweaty teenagers). And the actual threat to life and limb. You cannot ever be killed. The only way you could capture the essence of fear of death and that each patrol could be your last would be to keep a loaded gun or a cyanide pill handy so that if your sim-captain died, you would be honor bound to kill yourself as well. That would put a different spin on things. So no matter what, there are levels of realism that we are better off without...
