How about a free one? (its free forever)

https://store.steampowered.com/app/404410/Endless_Sky/

This really gave me a "Sid Meijer's Pirates but in space" kind vibe. Ferry goods between ports (planets and station) shoot loot and take enemy ships work on a quest to ~~find your lost family members~~ save the galaxy its great.

Endless Sky is awesome, and it's got really active development - which is something I didn't expect when I first got into it.

Being free, I thought with the main story finished, the loose ends would mostly stay loose, but no - a whole community of content and engine development has sprung up while the original author is busy with IRL.

Even art assets are open source and I love it

Thank you for being one of the few people who actually answered the question instead of just posting their favorite game. This game looks great!
