Space Flight Sim Game Idea

So I have an idea for a game. It involves co-op space flight. I got this idea while playing Freespace 2. When I was playing this game, I was really stunned by the cheat sheet for hot-keys.

I can't remember this much shit when I've got 3 bogeys on my tail

It was just way too complex, and there were too many things to do. On the other hand, in different situations it was actually nice to be able to do various things. When going in for attack, you want your shields forward and more power to guns and engines. When you are trying to escape, you want shields aft and power to shields and engines. Sometimes you want to tell your wingmen to do various tasks. All these things were useful, but it was just too much. I kept wishing I had another person helping me. Either shooting at enemy ships while I flew and worked the power and shield settings, or working the settings and ordering the wingmen around while I was shooting. Which lead to my idea for a game, just make the ship 2 players and split up the duties. One guy flies, one guy shoots, both can adjust settings or give orders. Then I thought of a rudimentary ship design.

Don't make fun of my drawing skillz

 Give the gunner a turret which can rotate on 3 different planes. This gives both players a lot to do while promoting teamwork, and allowing complex maneuvers. None of the depth of the game is lost, but it's easier to play. Maybe more fun, as I like co-op better than playing alone.

Crysis

I'm just going to come right out and say it. Crysis is awesome. Have you ever watched Predator and thought, man would it be fun to be the Predator?

Looks like fun right?

Well Crysis is as close as I've found in a video game not titled AvP (and I think the new AvP kind of sucks so meh). The difference is, instead of fighting Arnold Schwarzenegger, you're fighting a bunch of grunts who have no idea whats going on.

Surprise Motherfuckers

I don't know if I'll ever get tired of cloaking and sneaking up on unsuspecting soldiers. I really like the nanosuit and the different options it gives you for dealing with situations. Cloak and sneak around, use speed and run around like Speedy Gonzales, switch to strength and jump up to sniper points or just go around punching guys in the face (or punching their cars in the face). The game plays like it's every great 80s action movie rolled into one. For instance, you can cut down trees with a machine gun in the game.

Also, this game might still have the best looking graphics around, especially if you pick up the Natural Mod.

Very Pretty

This game has an odd reputation. Actually, I'll rephrase that, it has a bad reputation. I've often heard it described as "not a game, but a tech demo," "boring," "extremely generic." I really don't understand those complaints. Certainly the plot isn't anything ground breaking, but the game play itself is very fun and I find quite innovative. I wonder if Crytek didn't misstep when shooting for the stars with the graphics in this game, and gamers were mad their expensive computers couldn't handle max settings.
