I’m curious, have you played Starsector? It’s an RPG/space combat sim, not naval combat, but it feels broadly similar. From what you said you liked about this game it seems like you might enjoy it, and it’s ridiculously well polished for a game still in alpha - I’ve encountered virtually no jank or annoying bugs in my playthroughs.
(Trading kind of sucks* due to tariffs making margins low if there’s not a shortage in a good, though there are mods out there to make the economy act more like a more traditional trading sim)
(* Though it has the most fleshed out smuggling system I’ve ever encountered, with stealth mechanics and suspicion meters and economic effects to dumping things on the black market)
I have lost so much time of my life to Starsector. It’s such a good game. I’m probably going to wind up diving back into it soon, see how high I can mod the battle limits
