I've looked it up and anyone calling this "the most complex ..." clearly have never played 80s board games e.g. The Campaign for North Africa (takes more than 1000 hours to finish)

Doesnt sound like a space game

Fair, but:
Star Fleet Battles
Traveller Adventure 5: Trillion Credit Squadron

For TCS - you have literally control of around hundred of space ships that each can hold many sub-spaceships, crew, tanks, etc. and you control each and every weapon.

Some random blogpost about TCS:

Sadly, Trillion Credit Squadron does nothing whatsoever to make it simpler for the math-impaired to build and battle starships. Indeed, the TCS includes among its recommended materials "calculators or adding machines" and even suggests the use of programming a home computer "to handle much of the tedium of the design process

Imagine, having a programming skills was almost a requirement to play and compete in this game.
