Just in case you're not already familiar with it - there's a niche sub-genre of games called "bridge simulators" that involve co-operative team play on a simulated starship bridge. Each player taking a different crew station (sensors, navigation, weapons, that sort of thing), plus a commander running the show - they all have to work together to complete "missions".

It's basically a game version of the bridge scenes you see on sci-fi shows like Star Trek or Battlestar Galactica.

Artemis Bridge Simulator is probably the best known one (though quite long in the tooth at this stage), there are a few others like Starship Horizons or Empty Epsilon.

This community should be a good source of info on the topic: https://bridgesim.net/

They're sometimes used for educational and team-building purposes too - e.g. those "space camps" popular in the US that other users have mentioned here.

This one in particular seems geared towards that use case: https://thoriumsim.com/docs/overview



Thank you for the info and links! This is very helpful.
