I remember this one! In the same spirit was Maelstrom (Ambrosia) and HemiRoids. https://macintoshgarden.org/games/hemiroids https://macintoshgarden.org/games/h

  Oh man, this brings back memories. Loved this game, Maelstrom, and the Escape Velocity series of games which augmented this style of gameplay with an open world. So much fun. I pine for games that don’t need half and hour of cutscenes and a tutorial to learn to play.

    I have yet to try out Endless Sky, the open source EV tribute act. Could be good. https://endless-sky.github.io https://endless-sky.github.io

    Might I recommend Star Sector? There's a lot of Escape Velocity copycats out there, but Star Sector feels more like the natural evolution of EV:Nova or as I recently described it: "It's EV:Nova where you sell crack." It's really good, and it leans into the scale a lot more than the Escape Velocity series. You command a fleet, later a faction, and your actions have interesting consequences! For example, you can blockade a planet by killing enough traders, and this affects prices throughout the galaxy! Also the mod scene popped off and hasn't stopped. The only counterargument I can make is that the developers refuse to put it on Steam until it's ready so you need to use some sketchy 90s era payment site to buy a copy. Or just grab a key from the forums. https://fractalsoftworks.com/ https://fractalsoftworks.com/
