In the other hand, Space Engine is closer of Orbiter or Celestia. You also can observe 'what if' scenarios or things which happened in the past regarding bodies movements and/or gravity.
Some kind of construction set, a gravity simulator where you create, manipullate, collide bodies etc. Universe Sandbox is that, a sandbox where you experiment. Than you, guys :-) But both simulations have not much in common unlike what you might think Simply, comparison of the available options - the strengths and weaknesses (compared to other one) of both as you feel it. Which one is easier to control, more accurate, more enjoyable. Flanner: i know, both universe sandbox and space engine are sanboxes and i can see, there is some spaceship posibility in the second one, but i wonder if some of you tried both sandboxes and for some impressions.
