Helium Rain (tuxdb.com)

Helium Rain is a single-player space simulation that places you at the helm of a spacefaring company. Exploration, trading, station-building, piracy are all options. You will need to master both real-time action and long-term strategy: destroying a freighter has a direct impact on the economy, while declaring war will make your spaceflight environment slightly more hostile...

12 playable ships with weapon and engine upgrades
Play fighters, bombers, cargos, corvettes or capital ships.
Realistic economy model
Take advantage of an accurate simulation of space trade to be the most competitive company. If diplomacy fails, blockades are in order.
Fast-paced combat with a Newtonian flight model
There is no speed limit in Helium Rain. You can fly at half a mile a second while aiming backwards !
Localized damage model for spacecrafts
Aim for critical systems in order to disable ships, kill their crew or capture targets.
Procedural contracts, world exploration, technology upgrades
Pick contracts and build your empire.
