   I get that it's only a game, but all of these gravity games (with a couple of rare exceptions) ignore the fact that the black holes (or planets/suns) should be moving as well.

      Kerbal Space Program didn't! I wonder if it'd be much harder to simulate real gravity "spheres", with Lagrange points and all. But even without it, in simplified mechanics, planning slingshots and using Oberth effect had been fun.

         There are plugins that make the orbital paths of the planets and moons - and the ships - more realistic.
