Which games exemplify good space exploration and combat?
Greetings! I'm doing research for an upcoming thread that I'll be writing about vehicular combat in Destiny and I'd like some good starting points. In your opinion, which games are the golden standard for space exploration and / or space combat, and why? Additionally, if you feel that there are any games that have particularly strong ground vehicle exploration and combat, I'd like to know more about those as well.
Thanks for your input!

Less so: Rogue Squadron (mostly atmospheric, comparatively limited range/scope). The why: The X-Wing series of games is where I got my video game start, but it's a great atmosphere to jump into and dogfight (often with capital ships present). X-Wing Alliance went so far as to include hyperspace jump points, which meant you could explore several areas of space, each with different (story-driven) challenges. In space, a lot of it feels the same, but that game really brought the atmosphere in every mission.
