I've had ELITE DANGEROUS (STEAM sale $29 // played 24 hours) for over a year & even tried it with my buddies Oculus (wow - that was fucking fabulous), BUTT - ED has some huge overhead RE: remembering all the controls + the ship leveling is a real grind...
IMO - the lack of any "story" in the game offers no real purpose to even exist in the world (whoopee - pirate, bounty hunter, explorer, miner) so I've mostly just played SP explorer mode...
I also had to buy a flight stick because KB/M & X360 pad were NFG for me. This has been a mixed blessing - allowing me to more easily fly in 3D space, but DAMMIT JIM, THERE ARE SO MANY BUTTONS!
BTW: I bought a cheap Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X Flight Stick for ED & it changed the game entirely vs. KB/M or my x360 gamepad: Amazon.com: Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X Flight Stick: Video Games
I've had REBEL GALAXY for a few weeks (STEAM Halloween Sale - $5 // played 3 hours) and while it does have a fairly interesting story path, you have to do a lot of unrelated side missions to make money to upgrade your ship in order to pursue the missions + leveling in this game is also a grind.
This game lacks any Y axis flight controls (KB/M is very easy to use) so you basically play the game on a frisbee model of outer space - but it is a very, very pretty version of outer space!
That said, the gameplay / mechanics get very repetitive very fast, so I DL'd Cheat Engine & figured out how to get money & bought a ship that allows me to follow the story faster & easier, but it also removed some of the "survival" fun...
