Startrader

A space trading and action game set in a universe where capitalism rules.

Everything costs credits, which you can only gain by smart interplanetary trading, and you must seek the elusive nine segment de-activation code for an Armageddon Device set by the evil Kargans and timed to destroy the universe at stardate 999.9, These creatures will also attack you on your search.

Impending battles set off a warning system as you are told to set your weapons system.

There is little actual flying, as your course is plotted between planets, leaving you with the docking which, if you don't do it properly, results in damage to your hull. You can also manoeuvre in battle, though this is a little sluggish since you are flying a large cargo vessel.
