Right. Now, please, an Expanse space sim where I can pilot the ships and engage in battles. Because that was the best part of the show.

Omg yes. I have no idea how it would work, I'm imagining turn based combat since it's ttrpg based, but i want it so badly.

No turn based. Full-on hardcore space sim with 100% realistic physics and weapons systems similar to Independence War, Hunternet and DCS. Or, put in another way—Orbiter with guns.

But... That sounds like I'd be bad at it and that makes me sad. :(

If you want kind-of turn based realistic tactical space combat sim, check out Children of a Dead Earth. It's the closest thing to The Expand space ship game.

Those streams of projectiles like deadly tentacles flailing around the ships are incredible. Would love a game that could replicate that.
