Status: offline 		Played StarShatter, Battlecruiser, etc but I'm looking for a good, immersive, space combat sim that I can interface with the hardware in my home-built cockpit. The ideal would include multimonitor support and input/output interface kinda like MS Flight Simulator has as well as realistic and CHALLENGING Enemy AI. Is there ANYTHING out there????

There is the X Series of games from Egosoft. X3 is availible via Steam or can be Store Bought, they have just released the patch that removes the Starforce protection an NOCD etc.

Or Freelancer, its an older game.

Quite challenging and fun in the beginning, but, easily becomes too easy later on when you have 100's of everything. lol Selling Space Fuel and Space Weed FTW. ;)
