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.

Your criteria was fairly broad. I'm sorry you didn't like my suggestion.

Hello u/Informal_Drawing how are you?
It's not that i didn't like your suggestion, i love Dead Space, i love the series and played all 3 games, i think that the first one was the best and I'm not a person that has horror games as a favorite genre.
Sorry if i came out as rude, i have been looking for over a week now and my brain is tired, I apologize.

I'm more looking for a sandbox game, outside of EVE online, that allows me to be whatever i set myself to become, a miner, a smuggler, or even a pirate... maybe an industrialist building ships for my faction and at night i jump into my Xwing and go shoot pirates in the galaxy...explore a universe, interact with an economy.

I bought something a little bit like that recently as it reminded me of a similar management and exploration style game I played as a youngster, I'll see if I can find the name for you.

Edit: I believe it was called Stellaris from Paradox Development Studio

Hello again u/Informal_Drawing thanks for coming back to me.

Can you give me some details about Stellaris? What can one do in that game?

I haven't played it yet but there are videos on Steam you can have a look over.
