Comment on [MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences!

  To be fair, the realistic space combat video game genre really doesn't exist, that I've seen.

  You can get pretty hard-realistic combat aircraft sims. Not many, but they exist.

  But in space combat games, you're always playing something roughly like Star Wars. Which is cool and all, but just not what actual space combat would likely look like.

    Because realistic space combat would be slow and boring.

      I dunno.

      Real life naval warfare is generally slow and boring, but by using a variety of tricks, like time compression and only having the player involved in actual combat, many games have made that palatable.
