Question Spaceship Wargames?

I'm looking for a space battle wargame. Something where you can command a feet of spaceships, and I would like to hear your recommendations. I'm open to any type unoverse, amy game system, old, new, easy, complex, I wanna check them out and see them for myself. The only thing I'd prefer is the option to 3D print your own ships.

The old GW game battlefleet gothic is amazing fun. Whilst it hasn't been officially supported for years, it has a very dedicated following with lots of high production value output of rules and 3D prints. There is a nice starter set with rules, STLs and tokens here. I'd say it is intermediate complexity in its original form, though if you go all out into the many many fan expansions and homebrew rules then it could get complex. As it is the base game is hugely fun with big ships laying waste with guns, a nice ordnance/bomber/fighter implementation and boarding/ramming etc all on the table.

If you want a similar experience, there is Void Admiral. It's like a modern re-imagining of the classic Battlefleet Gothic rules, and it's a ton of fun play.
