Can anyone list some Space games with mining? (apart from ED)

I have X:Rebirth and tbh the mining in that is just crappy, shooting an asteroid and then clicking on icons on the screen. meh

EVE online (not that I would really call it a space sim, but close).

I can't think of anything else that comes close gameplay wise as ED/X:Rebirth.

Millennium 2.2 and its sequel, Dueteros. That was really more 'go to asteroid belt, mine stuff, come back' instruction though.

omg!! I sooooooooooooo loved Millenium 2.2, what an absolutely epic game that was. (well okay, the shooty bit was meh.. but the rest was epic!)
I'd dearly love a Millenium 2.2 remake ..or K240 for that matter!

Empyrion : Galactic Survival has first person mining on planets and on asteroids. Very similar mechanic to Space Engineers - shoot the ore vein with a mining tool, pick up the rocks. Continue to shoot until the vein runs out. Several types of ore used for crafting different survival gear and ship construction parts.

As a byproduct you also mine stone from the fringes of the ore vein, which can be further processed into crushed stone/sand to provide part of the material for plant growing.

No mining from the cockpit however - all done first person.

If we are at talking about things that have yet to exist, there's a space-y game that was very promising : Blackspace. It featured mining, base-building and fights on large asteroids. It missed its Kickstarter though was greenlighted on team. It's actually on hold, for the devs to gather money (one of them works at Oculus).
