I like to think that most space games takes place in a universe which is almost exactly like our own except one little physical difference. Outer space isn't a vacuum, instead there's some sort of invisible unbreathable gas that permeates all of space. Pretty much explains everything in your typical space-sim game, like why you can hear exploding spaceships, lack of inertia, fighters than bank when turning, even those sparkly little things that move past your ship so you can tell you're moving.
