I'm tempted because it actually has a Newtonian flight model (And none of these games have that - the one thing I hate about the X series), but I'll wait to hear how you like it in a week or two from now.
If i want a good space sim, I guess the best one ever made was the Independence War series. It has an actual Newtonian flight model, and you can do whatever you want. Then it was modded to become the modern day Elite.
