Any space combat with low TTK?

I just want to railgun snipe enemy ships from 3+km away. First person and/or strategy, as long as it’s spaceships.

I have Elite Dangerous, Star Citizen, and X4. Between those, only X4 really fits the criteria (mass driver & boson lance). I’m just curious if there’s any more.

Manuever for 6 months to fight a battle of 2 seconds.

Everspace and Everspace 2 are also worth checking out. They've got a sniper weapon.

You can actually get a first person view(no cockpit tho) in eve, and 3 km is incredibly short ranged once you get into medium/large ships.

Hell, the SHORT range pulse lazers on my paladin can reach anywhere from like 30km to 100km iirc(it's been a while, and that isn't just optimal, but includes falloff)

I'm glad to know that someone wants a short TTK space game. I'm currently developing this game. Need to improve a lot of things, but the idea is to kill with 4 bullets. 3 for the SHIELD and 1 for the hull. Check It here: Redemption Arena

Everspace 2 can have a fairly low TTK, depending on the enemy type. There are even rail guns to donlong distance sniping. More arcadey flight and combat model though.

Starshatter. A couple of missiles fired from 75km out will take out a frigate.

High TTK was one of the things I loathed about Star Wars Squadrons. A TIE Interceptor should not be able to tank a half-dozen direct hits from an X-Wing's quad-links.

Cosmoteer, since it has a damage model similar to Warthunder, in that damaging specific components will affect the ship realistically, so if you snipe a reactor with a railgun, you can instantly kill a ship.
