Games that take place mostly on a spaceship or space station

I love that setting so much. I love being on huge spaceships or space stations. Looking for games that primarily take place on these settings. It's OK if you go off for a while, but I want a large portion of the game (let's say at least half) to take place on a spaceship or space station. If you add to this thread, I'll add it to this first post. I can only think of a few off the top of my head.

*Edit* as far as spaceships are concerned, I mean that you're on them as a setting. Like a big one. Star Wars: X-wing vs. TIE Fighter wouldn't work here.

*EditEdit* I'm also adding terrestrial stations to the list. Like Moon bases and stuff. For all intents and purposes they're the same as space stations. They're often abandoned, moody technological pieces and that's what I'm looking for.

The List

Dead Space

Dead Space 2

System Shock

System Shock 2 (Right? I never played it)

Gemini Rue

Prey

The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay

The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena

LifeLine

Dino Crisis 3

Sentient

Space Station Silicon Valley

Routine (Technically a moon base, but spiritually it's the same)

Xenophobe

Space Siege

Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels

Echo Night: Beyond

Analogue: A Hate Story

7 Days a Skeptic

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - The Fallen

Fallout 3 -Mothership Zeta (DLC)

Aliens: Infestation

Metroid Fusion

Metroid: Other M

Moon

Rama

Starship Titanic

Vanquish

Startopia

Doom 3

LifeLine

Dino Crisis 3

I know some games that are LIKE being on a space station or are in them for a couple minutes. You named everything I would know already.

Sentient: Explore the Infinite

Sentient: Explore the Infinite

Fucking that game! First thing I thought of when I came in here.

Also, most of the Wing Commander games.

Doom

Doom 3 and its expansion

Yeah. I came in here to post that. I thought I'd be the only one. Apparently I've been deeply misinformed about the popularity of that game.

That game was insane. I never totally got all of the mechanics as a kid but it was one of the most memorable games I played on the Playstation.

Space Quest

Space Station Silicon Valley

Halo series (depending on how you define space station all of them but Halo 2 come close to half the game even without the rings), Alien Breed (the new games), Space Siege and Run Like Hell. I'm not sure about the last two, I never played them.

Routine

Xenophobe

Space Siege

Alien Swarm

Would FTL count?

EDIT:

Ah, I see what you meant now. Never mind.

• Aliens Trilogy
• Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels
• Echo Night: Beyond

Anoluge: A Hate Story, Its not a gritty setting, and its probably not what you are looking for because its a Visual Novel, but it is pretty damn good.

Rochard, I own it, but have not played it. It sounds like 2d Portal in space.

Wing Commander

Escape From the Aliens in Outer Space

Space Alert

Starship Catan

Halo: Combat Evolved technically takes place all on a spaceship and a space station.

7 Days a Skeptic

Phantasy Star 3: Generations of Doom

Space Alert! Nice!

Doom

Doom 3 and its expansion

Metroid series

The Mass Effect series

Does Doom and Doom 3 take place on a space station? I thought Doom 3 was on Mars? It's been a while though...@SomeDeliCook said:

Rochard takes place on a mining station and other space stations.

Space Station Sim and 2.0? I think them had some station spacing aspects.

Rendezvous with Rama had an adventure game and a later version Rama. Read the books.

Metroid: Other M

Metroid Fusion

Aliens: Infestation

MOON

Fallout 3: Mothership Zeta (DLC)

EVEOnline

Natural Selection? Wasn't there a lot of station levels?

Since the Space Hulks have been mentioned, I'll mention that Warhammer 40,000 game on XBLA, what was it called...?

Kill Team, that's it.

It takes place entirely within the bowels of an Ork spaceship (PURGE THE BEASTS!)

I think I recall Star Trek Deep Space Nine, The Fallen having many scenes either on the space station or various starships.

Startopia? I'm being a bit facetious, because you seem to want games where you wander round a space station, but this might interest you. It's a management sim where you build a space station. It's a bit more like Theme Hospital/Park than it is like sim city. Quite narrow in scope. I'm pretty hazy on how it played, to be honest, but I remember thinking it had a neat presentation with the circular space stations, and it's a setting you don't/didn't often see for those games...

Klingon Academy

Starfleet Command

Bridge Commander

Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Light Speed. (via SWGEmu)

@WickedFather: The original Rendezvous With Rama is my favorite book of all time. I read the series when I was like 18-19 and it's always stuck with me. It's funny that I started that series for the sole reason that I saw the cover to the final book Rama Revealed and thought "That looks awesome. I need to read that" so I picked up the first.

@BoogieWithStu I'm pretty sure the first Marathon takes place largely on a space station, though I'm not entirely certain.

Startopia

A lot of the Mass Effect trilogy takes place on terrestrial bodies, so I'm not sure it qualifies.

I came in here to tell you about system shock 2, but you already have it on yr list.

@BoogieWithStu: I'm just here to say you have to play System Shock 2. And System Shock 1, with Malba's mouselook mod, if you haven't played that gem.

Looking at the list, I get why I liked Dead Space 1 & 2. There really needs to be more original Sci-Fi games. Heck, just more Sci-Fi in general would be great.

Starship Titanic

So...not Galaga?

All I thought of was doom, on account of BFG edition.

Vanquish is entirely set on a space station. The R-Type games have a lot of that stuff too. Also, the last third of Metal Slug 3 is set on a spaceship.

@mlarrabee: Haha I'd love to! If anyone knows where I could find System Shock 2, playable on Windows 7 64-bit, PM me with the details!

Alien Breed

Added Doom 3. After watching the quick look I think it can fit in this.

Also, I remember the game Xenosaga and most of Xenosaga 2 (never finished it) taking place mostly on ships and stations. Can anyone confirm?
