Free games that can be replayed/played for a while
Might look at Oolite for a free lower spec alternative to Elite, if that's your jam. Plenty of mods to work with as well.
-
Elite for Emacs
If you liked Elite, you should check out Oolite [1] too. FOSS, lots of mods.

What indie space sim games have a hidden, large community?
I was surprised, when I started recording videos for Oolite, by how many people were desperate for Oolite videos.

Just picked this up, the journey to Elite begins!
Many, many hours playing this one to death. And the C64 version before it, and the BBC versions (tape and disk) at my friends houses. And Oolite on the Mac. And I'm a founder backer of Elite Dangerous. And...and...

space sim for resource poor PC?
In addition to the other great recommendations on here, Oolite might also be worth a try. It's free and has tons of expansions modify your experience.

Getting wake data is terrible. Which gave me an idea! What about Witchspace Ripples?
Hmm, I guess that's one way to look at it. ED is all about the freedom of choice, after all. Though I still think OP's idea is interesting. Before playing ED, I've been playing Oolite for some time, and you can actually jump into the wakes left by the ships. So, to see this (or similar) mechanic in ED would be interesting.

Pimp My BBC Micro
Strong nostalgia whenever I see the BBC Elite opening screen!
These days we can re-live it easily in the browser: https://bbc.godbolt.org/?autoboot&disc=sth%3AAcornsoft%2FEli... Although I can also recommend "oolite": http://www.oolite.org/ which is an open source modernised elite with game play kept quite faithful to the original (I'm currently hooked on this and wasting more my life trying to get that "Elite" rating all over again)

Slay the Spire 2 Announced – Using Godot
It's probably not as rigorous as what you're thinking of but the devs of DCSS have cited online win rates of certain combinations as the impetus for balance changes before.

The Mana World Classic – Open-Source Mmorpg
In a similar vein, see Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, a free and open-source roguelike that's been continuously developed by volunteers for 20 years: http://crawl.develz.org/

Trog
They are entirely too humanoid. I mean, look at these splash screens: Kiku, Ignis, Chei. While those images shouldn't be taken as canonical, they at least demonstrate the general inhumanity of the Crawl pantheon.

Games you can play for 20+ hours and not get bored?
Since you like turn-based games too, try some old-school roguelikes. Many are open-source freeware so you have nothing to lose but time. I've been playing Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup for almost 10 years.

any suggestions for a beginner roguelike? something that's not infuriating
Since Brogue's already been mentioned, I'd add Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup and Tales of Maj Eyal as pretty beginner friendly games.

new Oka should have the option to refuse gifts, like refusing Ru sacrifices
For people who don't follow trunk, Okawru's gifting has been changed (and arguably* nerfed):

Game to Play at Work
My personal first timer recommendation? Maybe Nethack or Dungeon crawl?
- Early thoughts on the new shapeshifter (transmuter) mechanics
- Games without a hunger mechanic.

What is your favourite open source game(s)?
Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup - Free traditional roguelike with fair mechanics and a lot of variety between species/skill/god choices (~25 gods and maybe with the exception of sif/veh and oka/trog, they are very distinct). The tiles are great. There's many developers and they are very welcoming of code or vault contributions. Reducing incentives to play tediously is one of the goals. Easily hundreds of hours of gameplay for free. Playable online (connecting to a server through your browser/terminal) or offline (terminal or tiles version). There have been win streaks of 50+ games with a variety of species/background combos so you know it's mostly fair(it IS possible for rng to give you an unwinnable game), but it's very difficult if your goal is to win every game.
