Starship command simulators?

So now that I finished watching every single seaason of Battlestar Galactica and have seen the new Star Trek for the fourth time, I really need a space sim.

But not just any space sim. I have basically played every single one (X3 being my favorite) and while those games let you control massive ships, you don't get to control them from the commander's point of view.

Basically, I am looking for a MS Flight Simulator-like sim where you control a large ship from the bridge on the inside, giving orders and such. Would be epic. I would be surprised if it hasn't been made yet...

the original Independence War is what youre looking for. Great game.

I has all you asked for. You command everything from the bridge, be it engine control, damage and maintanance, gunnery, etc.

I also highly recommend I-War 2...less complexity, but extreeeeeemely enjoyable.

Next to Tie Fighter and Tachyon: The Fringe, I'd say I-War 2 is my favorite space sim

try Star Trek Bridge Commander(very good video review)

or Star Trek: Starfleet Command III
