So what is everyone's dream for the perfect space sim?

I am not sure exactly what the perfect sim would be for me but there is one thing that always causes me to get tired of a sim. To me the one most important thing is that I want to play a character not a ship. I want a Silent Hunter 5 of the stars if you will. I want to walk around my ship in real time telling the crew what to do and then watch them do it. I am sick of all these games where you pilot a ship but for all intents and purposes you are the ship. It would be even better with coop where you could have 16 people all on the same ship doing different tasks to accomplish the mission.

What about everyone else? What would your perfect sim be? If that is too hard of a question then what is the most important aspect of a space sim for you?

I'm really very simple when it comes to this.

All I want is "Klingon Academy" with updated DX 11 graphics and "Tie Fighter" with updated DX11 graphics. Oh and I want full MP Cooperative support for both. I'd pay good money for those.

If we could combine...
--Independence War 2 in general, missions, combat, movement and navigation as the foundation
--Evochon's gateless travel, open universe and planetfall
--X3:TC's look, mood, management options and especially presentation
--Parkan 2's ability to board an enemy ship and attack as an FPS (forgot I even had that one!)
--Mass Effect 2 for character interaction, storyline, voice acting, ground combat & locations, peripheral characters and in-ship movement
--Equally playable with flightstick/kb or kb/m if you want.
--Single player campaign/open universe and seemless co-op, of course.

...it would be a dream game to end all games.

Starshatter TGS is sort of like that, it's even as buggy as F4 was when it came out.

Ah Lev Arris, the first time I came across Clive Owen was in this, I really like his acting and have enjoyed his other films. Loved playing Priviteer 2 it was like Elite but with better character developement. Yep something along the lines of this with up-to-date graphics/sound.
