Space battle games for casual player? (lemmy.world)

I'm rewatching Babylon 5 and it's putting me in the mood for an immersive game where I get to command a spaceship and blast stuff with lasers or plasma cannons or whatever.

I fondly remember playing Tie Fighter, Elite 2 and Privateer, and I was wondering if there were good games from this side of the millennium? I've tried playing Tie Fighter Total Conversion, but without a joystick I found it very hard to control. I've played some Elite Dangerous, and enjoy a bit of trading, but the combat is a bit too hard for me.

I'm a very casual gamer, and not looking for an mmo, or anything particularly challenging. I just want to zoom around in a spaceship as epic battles rage around me, and have a bit of a power fantasy.

Any suggestions?

I've never played them myself, but I've seen some mods that completely overhaul the game.

That being said, I would recommend playing the vanilla experience first, with an HD mod if you'd like.
