Advocacy isn't really the goal of the group, however we love answering 
questions.

Good space combat rpgs are... non-existent IMO. But that's likely because 
I'm so demanding of them.

Even so, so possiblities:

Traveller 2100 had a interesting system that represented eggshells hunting

each other with sledgehammers. Very recon and stealth focused. Does
nothing 
for handling multiple players per ****p but could work nicely for one ****p 
per player as small fleets which in truth is how I imagine many settings 
would have combat ****ps deployed.

One could take a look at the Flying Mice games 
(http://flyingmice.com/flyingmice.html).
I think at least 'Cold Space' was

suppose to do exactly what you're wanting however I have no experience
with 
them. At $10 a PDF, it's not a bad risk.
