The Ferengi selling Thunder Blade seems a little inflexible and I have to wonder if his price is a little high.
I have no doubt that's a fu game but graphics have come so far in the last few years I doubt it could even remotely compete with an average PC of today.
You might consider building your own cockpit out of a car seat with a welded steel frame like this:

.... or you could get carried away a full motion controlled cockpit like this guy. (http://buggies.builtforfun.co.uk/Sim/)
