I'm such a sucker when it comes to games involving space travel, exploration and building a ship. Turns out that Space Impossible has a Linux version on Steam.

Not getting enough space-combat sims? Hypergate is a pretty good-looking one that's confirmed for Linux and due out in December this year.

If you're feeling lazy and you like strategy games, Lazy Galaxy is probably a good game for you. It's expanded a fair bit recently too.
