Hrm. This is still fairly general and thus hard (for me, at least) to offer advice on how to go about this, since it sounds like you're effectively making your own codebase from scratch. If you used PennMUSH, you could get HSpace - - as a possible spaceflight engine. It automatically handles movement/spatial dimensions, etc. But with other codebases, you could possibly program a system of rooms to represent 'space', have ships coded to move from room to room, set up coordinates ... there are *lots* of possibilities, and that's just talking about spaceflight. It doesn't even get into the idea of sports and how to incorporate/manage them (What skill system will you be using? Do you intend automated or refereed interactions?)
Before anyone can help you in detail, I suspect you're going to need to be a little further along in development. Otherwise, we're just sort of flogging the boards with what-if statements.
