Hey i want to try out some space sims but i have a few "requirements"

.... mostly the fact that i don't have a joystick so games that are easy to use without a joystick
.... also games like maybe privateer 2 or x3 (except those 2 haha) would be great :)

Thanks.
 
I haven't played it but maybe Freelancer?

I heard it was made for mouse, and its a space game.
 
I do believe Freelancer would be a good bet. It ain't bad and it's pretty fun. :D In fact it does NOT support joysticks at all IIRC.

You could try FreeSpace but flying with the mouse in that game is a bit hectic.
 
defiant's list of best space sims of all time:

freespace
freespace 2
x-wing
tie fighter
Wing Commander 3
freelancer

It's kinda tough. Back when I had the game (when it came on 5 floppies) I had a mouse with a ball in it. Let's just say that after five weeks or so that mouse no longer worked. You have to constantly lift and pull (or push) the mouse quickly to make big ship moves. There's no sensitivity setting in Tie Fighter and it ran in DOS so you're just lifting and moving the mouse a bunch. After a couple hours playing it really got tiring. lol
