I have not looked much at SC. From what I read my impression is no, nothing really similar except maybe the flight. This is more flight sim without any real story. There is a galactic story running in the background but you have very little, if any, influence to the galactic story as a whole. SC from what I have read will have a story and it's scope will be somewhere around 200 star systems. SC is part FPS, none here but there is some discussion of an expansion to allow you to walk outside your ship in dock and planetary landings..This is a make your own way game. You like pew pew in games, you can get a combat ship. You want to be a trader, get a cargo hauler. Jack of all trades like I play, get a multi purpose ship and go from star to star. You get bored easily or are used to games telling you what to do next,, probably not for you. The game requires lots of patience, lots of reading and playing tutorials.
On a final note. The game is playable with mouse and keyboard. Driving with mouse and keyboard works to a point and so will this game. It is a flight sim and works best with a flightstick. I bought this one
T Flight Hotas X. Priced just over $50USD and it works well. It's bigger brother is almost $500USD. The game works well with this stick. Stick has 12 buttons and the game allows to set one as a shift key so I have 22 buttons assigned and do not need to touch the keyboard.
