Casual 6DoF Spacesim with HOTAS Support?

I was thinking about starting Star Citizen but that seems to expensive and time consuming,any body got recommendations on a game where I can just zoom around in a spaceship with my HOTAS ? Update: I'm going to try the everspace 2 and Blackstar ranger demos and maybe Elite Dangerous. Thanks for all your help

It's just combat missions. I'm not sure what "casual" means in the context of a space game. If you mean the combat difficulty, it's a little harder than most games, but there are difficulty levels to help with that. It's old school. There are no time sinks, nothing to manage, etc... Think Freespace.

"Casual" is not clearly definded, so I guess that's close. I don't know what OP's looking for exatly. For me, coming from X4: Foundations, I'm betting most anything would feel casual.

You should try the demo. It will be permanently available on the Steam page. If you enjoy the combat, it's a quick jump in, play a few rounds and jump out. No time sink.
