unless i'm totally forgetting something, there really isn't anything out there. The space combat genre seemed to really be taking off way back in the day with the Wing Commander/Privateer series, but they got stale fast and there hasn't been much since (not counting Star Wars stuff). There have been a couple of homebrew efforts but they've usually focused too much on realism (hint: Realism in spaceflight sims is a BAD thing because having to wait 12 years to get to the nearest star at the speed of light makes for a boring game) and their graphics have been no better than you'd get on an old IIgs.
Now if you're willing to go a lot more oldschool and can find it, Space Rogue by Orion was one of the best spaceflight combat sims (with a bit of RPG mixed in) I've ever played, even though it was released way back in 1989.
