That said, there just isn’t any other game that is quite as good at space combat. Which is annoying.
Yeah, I bought in back when there was just Arena Commander because my friends at the time were very enthusiastic about SC and even in that rough, limited state it felt good to fly in, despite the interface being kind of shit. I got Elite: Dangerous for free on Epic and played a lot of that, but the combat there is just bad so I spent most of time my time mining, which was actually enjoyable. I definitely missed SC's flight model in E:D even years after having last played SC.
Other games' falling through the map issues are but a shadow on the platonic cave compared to Morrowind, which itself is a pale imitation of Daggerfall, that pile of bugs somehow bolted together into a game.
Npcs still t-pose, though mostly just before a server crash. Sever meshing will supposedly fix it any year now.
They've finally completed the first system, 3 years behind schedule.

I hope I some day program a game with glitches that iconic.
Real Morrowind falling through the stairs vibes.
Stairs are jank in every game though.

I'm still smiling about this comment a day later, but I never did think of a clever response.
