If you like the idea of a "traditional wargame", you may
wish to try out my new lego RPG. However, it's only
castle related to a sense, however, could still work
for space if one were to augment it further.

Yeah, added the environmental concepts as well...the rpg

Unfortunately, this might not be possibly, unless you were
cognizant to memorize the rules easily (they aren't that
long, mostly explanation.) Other than that, you would need
occasional reference to character values (I use character
cards as a template to keep track of health, etc.)
