Are we ever gonna get another space sim?

[Arsinek]

I want something more akin to Freelancer
Or X wing series

A real Star Wars MMO with Xwing/Tie fighter space combat would be nice. And will never happen! hahahah!!

Doesn't have to be Starwars, I want the control scheme. I like arcade style load and go controls.
I tried Eve and X-com and all the others, took me an hour to figure out how to even start moving the ship. Which is not my style, I do not like simulation.

Yes, but Star Wars was part simulation. Obviously the controls were fly-by-wire in the sense that you didn't have to fire individual thrusters, etc., and the flight was atmospheric-like, but you still had to do a lot of sim like things, such as divert power between engines, weapons, and shields, align your shields to focus on covering your front or rear (or try and cover both equally), your laser/blasters had to lead the target, missiles could be evaded or shoot down, and damage against capital ships affected individual components/systems (to an extent, like blowing up engines, shield generators, gun turrets etc.).

That really isn't "arcade", but more simulation.

Makes me want to go back and fire up my version of Tie Fighter, If I can even still find the disks or make them run on Win7.
