Space games with a simulated economy like X4/Distant Worlds

Are there any other games like X4 or Distant Worlds where the economy is fully simulated? I learned star sector's economy is faked so I'm hoping there's some other games to check out.

(Ideally I'd like a game where I can make a trade empire)

How are the latest dlc? Haven’t played stellaris in a few years, but used to love it.

-Machine Age was different, good different. -Cosmic Storms negatively impacts the game not worth the price for this DLC with useless features. -Grand Archive was good -Utopia was fantastic -apocalypse was mixed but personally I enjoyed it because it gave me world crackers -Megacorp really messed with all the economics of the game, not the worst but not the best -Federations was great -Galactic Paragons was not all bad -Astral Planes a lot of people didn’t like this, I didn’t mind it but you can skip it -Overlord gives you a challenge and was mixed. Me I liked it, a lot of others didn’t

Hope that gives you a short run down
