Oolite

Oolite (Object Oriented Elite) is a space sim game, inspired by Elite, powered by Objective-C and OpenGL, and designed as a small game that is easy for users to pick up, modify and expand upon. Almost every aspect of the game can be changed by using simple, free graphics packages and text editors. The point is to fly from planet to planet, buying and selling goods, shooting pirates or committing acts of piracy. There's no goal other than perhaps to achieve the rank of ELITE.

Just Confusing
This game seems mostly key-controlled, which is not a bad thing. However, that the keys are not obvious, and they do not seem to work - I could not figure out how to dock with space stations. The manual said press shift-c to activate docking computer, but the key combo does nothing. No tutorial, either.
