Actually, Space Rogue had quite a bit of space combat in it.  I seem to
recall a Newtonian flight model option, too, but that may have been some
other game.  I definitely recall the rings you had to fly through when
warping across systems, though.  I think you also had a time limit of
sorts, because the "hyperspace" ate through your shields, but that could
also have come from another game.

Time to get back to sorting images, playing around, and getting all these
different space-sims sorted out again...
