Rogue System
** Added by publisher: Development is currently on-hold. As detailed in a Steam community forum post in 2018, the one-man development person suffered a head injury and is yet to return to working on Rogue System. Obviously a purchase at this time is for the experience as it currently stands. **
Rogue System’s goal is to depict the possibilities of space exploration and combat within a realistic environment–choosing not to ignore the “science” in science-fiction. Key features do/will include proper orbital mechanics for all objects in space; detailed ship system control, functionality, inter-dependency and damage reaction; and the ability to move freely from one ship to another, EVA, and effect repairs while in flight.
Rogue System’s Core Module (CM) will be a complete campaign-driven sim on its own. It utilizes both dynamic as well as scripted missions to allow for greater replay-ability while telling an intriguing story.
Finally, Rogue System is fully moddable, allowing both DCI as well as the sim’s community to add new ships, missions, and even campaigns.
Later, Extension Modules (EM) will add even more gameplay.

For once, I wish there was a "Well yes but actually no" button. From information I've gathered, the only developer of Rogue System suffered a traumatic brain injury about five years ago. Ever since then, development of RS has been entirely ceased. The game is, as I saw one person put it (and I may be paraphrasing this) the DCS of spaceflight sims. Unfortunately, it'll never see another update as far as I know, which is very saddening, because the ship's systems are VERY well simulated. There's others that have tried to fill in the gap such as Alliance Space Guard, Rogue System Reboot, and a few others I can only assume exist that I haven't seen yet.. but they're not out yet. So.. the best we can do is sit back and wait.
TLDR: Buy it if you want to try it. But don't expect the developer to come back. Hope for the best, but expect the worst.

It's actually a very realistic, down to earth flight simulator. Bit of a learning curve, but may be interesting
I use it for sci fi inspiration, but in terms of development, it's been quiet for a couple years... Get it if you enjoy the feeling of melancholy

Nothing quite like it, besides Alliance Space Guard, or maybe a heavily modded Space Engineers, or a DCS set in space. All other major titles fall short, and Rogue System Reboot may never get around to being finished with the involvement with ISI.

It's awesome, I wish the dev good health both physical and mental, though I also wish they'd pass on development to someone who cares about this project.
