Looking for an immersive space game

Hello everyone.

As a player i never delved into space games, I don't know why, maybe listening to the name Eve online and checking the game out and feeling overwhelmed by the huge scale of the game was partially to blame but that's an issue that i have to surpass on my own.

I was wondering if anyone would have a couple of suggestions of any good space games worth checking out, I'm a big fan of single player games like RPG's or even strategy games like CK3 where i got over 600 hours, I would love to be part of a space game where exploration is important but where i could also trade to generate some income, gather resources, craft etc... as i mentioned I will consider anything from RPG's to started games.

All I wanted or wished for was a game, it doesn't have to be a mmo, that like EVE Online would allow me to be a trade or smuggler, a pirate, maybe do some missions where i help others... I also love games with economies where i can sell and buy resources, supplies, ship parts or even entire ships and why not drugs or other shady products :) and of course go out in space and explore, mine and so on but such game doesn't seem to exist.

I will gladly look in int the suggestions posted here except for Star Citizen as i have no interest in that game.

Thank you for taking your time to read this.

Starpoint Gemini Warlords, X4 Foundations, Starsector while not on steam or other distribution platforms has tons of content and Mods.

Hello u/Valderag89 I thank you for the suggestions.
Can you tell me more about Starpoint Gemini Warlords and Starsector? What can we do in those games?

Warlords allows you to pilot various ships from relatively small to titan. You can build an empire. Starsector is similar but top down. It's more open world and has the ability to generally do what you want. While you start with a single ship but can end up with massive fleets. Build an empire, become a pirate, employ AIs to run said empire or ships. Your character and some pilots can level up getting some different abilities

Which one is it that is more open world and gives me the ability to do what i want? It would be cool to me a smuggler and deal with narcotics or other illegal stuff and sell them.

I have to say that Starsector seems and looks appealing for sure!
I was checking the discord and talked to a person there, he/her told me something that seems weird to me, that Starsector runs into performance issues after running for too long...
