Combine this with the name of the movie ''Sunshine'' I came up with:
''Stardust'' or ''StarShine''. Or Combine it with 2001: A Space Odyssey: SE: A Space Odyssey or SE: My God! It's Full of Stars! or just SE: It's full of Stars! (For Atheists  )
What about SE: Singularity or SE: Event Horizon?

| ^^ SE: Clockwork Universe? SE: Full Metal Spaceship? 
Heres a good one: "CMBR Surfers" 
It will look great with some B-movie style poster.

| A Latin (or Greek) name is quite fitting. So much in space has Latin names, and it adds to the scientific feel of the engine. Kosmos (Greek) then still works (or Cosmos in Latin spelling). But, then something that actually makes sense in Latin, not just Latin words. So, not "Astrum Eo" (="I walk star", while "star travel" could be rendered as "iter siderale") or grammatical nonsense like Novus Astrum or Novus Terra (unlike English, but like Russian and Norwegian, Latin adjectives must agree with the noun in gender and number).
Perhaps "Star travel" sounds better in the plural, "Itinera Sideralia". Or just "Sideralia" (very ambiguous, though - could mean just "star stuff"). Not sure then if the similarity with Celestia is a good or bad thing (Caelum = heaven. sidus = star).
Something with infinity has been suggested, which is infinitas. Infinitas siderum/astrorum/stellarum (an infinity of stars), Infinitas mundorum (an infinity of worlds). Not very catchy, though. I think a single word is better, optionally with a catchy tagline in Latin.

And in most European languages (all of them that I am familiar with, except of course English). It's the only thing about English that I actually like. Words should not have gender, it makes no sense.

Lol! I like it! Speaking of Latin what about: ''Machina Caelestis: Interminatis Explorationem'' i.e neverending exploration (I just googled-translated from greek so maybe its totally wrong in syntax )

| Fixing gender, case, number and agreement: Interminata exploratio. But that's ambiguous: in-terminata = neverending, inter-minata = forbidden (by threats). Machina Caelestis for Space Engine sounds very Newtonian...

| I think the name should be short and easy to remember, a game called "Machina Caelestis posse ad explorandum infinitum universi" (would have a rhyme) but will be very hard to remember

| Voidscape: Dark Voyage
Wherein 'voidscape' is similar to landscape, but in the void (space), you're travelling, i.e. on a voyage, and this voyage is dark in many senses: literal darkness, hardship, perhaps evil in case of piracy...
