A little late, but I might as well post this now.
One of the inspirations of the X games and EVE. Frontier released a remake of their 1984 Elite, the first of its kind. Updates are kind of slow but they are going through. It also offers one of the best VR experiences so far. I just need a HOTAS to complete my setup so the pilot's arms would properly sync with your movement; it doesn't move with a kb/mouse setup.
In any case, games like these may not be your cup of tea, but I might as well share some of my adventures in the black with this thread in the future. At least while I'm waiting for No Man's Sky and Star Citizen.
For now, here are some of the tools I've been using for the game:
http://inara.cz - some kind of ED-based pilot profiler/organizer. You can also form up a wing here with other pilots. Here's a sample profile.
http://www.edshipyard.com - a pretty reliable ship builder that monitors the cost of each module and armament; insurance fee included.
http://coriolis.io - another ship builder, with a fancier interface.
http://www.voiceattack.com - had it set up to command my ship with voice commands, and have it respond back with a 3rd-party AI voice.
http://www.radiosidewinder.com - ED fan-made radio station.
http://eddb.io - one of the trading tools out there, good for also looking for looped trading routes.
Maybe I'll put pictures and videos, but that's for another time.
