Incline Any other games with ship combat in the vein of Buck Rogers goldbox games?

I always really liked those games. The whole managing range, repairs, and targetting specific ship systems was very satisfying, and then it ending with a ship boarding adventure if you did it right and didn't blow them to bits (and that made the difference between accurate and damaging weapons more relevant!), or simply got close enough to them to board before combat even ended.

There's got to be some other games out there that have aped that style which have flown under my radar over the years. Only one I know of that's even close is Star Traders: Frontiers; but it lacks the aspect of turning the enemy ship into a dungeon crawl and you can't target specific parts of the enemy ship, aside from equipping weapons that tend to cause engine or crew damage more than others. Though I think it's still a worthy game in other respects.
