Naev – open-source game about space exploration, trade and combat
Sounds very similar to Endless Sky[1] - another open source game drawing on the old Escape Velocity games. I really enjoyed both Endless Sky and the Escape Velocity games, so I'll have to check out Naev at some point!

- Endless Sky v0.10.4

StarCitizen Server Meshing Architecture
There's an open source successor to Escape Velocity that's fun and continues to grow:

- Endless Sky – a galaxy lies open for you to explore

6 free games updated in the last 60 days
#2 - Endless Sky - ALSO inspired by Escape Velocity, but IMO this is more polished Escape Velocity clone and could reasonably be called the modern successor. EXCELLENT space trade/piracy/combat and definitely take some good strategy to get far into the game.

The Ur-Quan Masters: The Open Source Remake of Star Control II
This also was what stopped me from ever completing the game, even back in the 90s when it was still Star Control 2. I am not really a fan of games that force an arbitrary timer on the player, it feels like a holdover from the bad old days of coin-op arcade machines.
A while back I discovered a fork of Ur-Quan Masters which includes a time dilation feature that seems like it might make the game more fun to play, although I haven't tried it yet simply because I don't want to start playing and realize once again that I'm being punished for exploring and forced to start all over again: https://uqm-mods.sourceforge.net/
At least in Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Mass Effect 2 when this same thing happens it's based on a trigger, so as long as you know the trigger you can go do the mission immediately. Alas in Star Control 2 the timer is counting from the beginning so the game leaves you little choice.

Ur-Quan masters (http://sc2.sourceforge.net/downloads.php) runs on modern systems well plus it's free and even has a HD mod (https://github.com/Serosis/UQM-MegaMod/releases) - I'm not sure if it's good though, I played without it.
