I've been paying Starsector recently and have been really enjoying it. 
It's a top down space sim that doesn't really have a campaign or structure to go through. It's all about making your own fun akin to the Mount and blade games. 
I've been playing as a bounty hunter for now with a small fleet hunting down pirates and space luddite islamists 
I only have a few frigates and carrier with some retrofitted civilian freighters and drone haulers. My own little merc company 
I don't know whether I'll create a colony eventually or not. It's kinda necessary if you want to do salvaging and hunt down any blueprints or rare ships but I might just settle for cleansing the galaxy of pirates 
Anyway I want to finish a campaign before I dive into the huge modding scene this game has. I've been eyeing the fighter customisation mod where you create specialised fighter wings with your own officers and even pilot them yourself.

Oh thats why it seemed familiar to me.
I also don't play any games SsethTzeentech does reviews on because the community goes to shit immediately and they require a level of autism I'm not willing to drink enough caffeine to deal with my undiagnosed ADHD to learn how to play correctly.
No sir, just Civilization and weird indie games I find on http://itch.io and http://f95zone.to. Thats the life for me. And Skyrim or Fallout if I become incredibly depressed. Bethesda is my rock bottom games.

I really like the writing as well, that gets a bit overlooked. They're really good at setting the tone and atmosphere, and bringing across that you're in command of hundreds of people from the very beginning of the game.
It's never "you visit the bar", it's "you visit the bar with an entourage of armed guards and they're making sure nobody fricks with you". It's not "you scan this strange wreck", it's "your bridge officers and chief engineer work together to figure out why this sensor return is off".
I really like how the game describes your character acting in command, everything happens via a group of professionals coordinating to carry out your orders.

Never heard of it, looks cool tho

Each faction have their own ship designs, weapons and economics. Different planets produce different resources and need specific things.
You can trade on the open market with tariffs or on the black market with cool shit but run the risk of being branded a smuggler and getting patrol fleets after you.
Been playing both sides in a local war rn.
Selling weapons and fuel to the pirates 
while smuggling food and marines to space feds. 
Desert planets would pay higher for food and luxury goods but would lowball you on metals and machinery since they're a mining world for example. They pay up FAT STACKS for drugs tho 
I'm helping the pirates become more powerful so that more factions will be forced into the war so I can get much higher paying contracts and bounties to hunt them down.

I always try to play as a space trucker just trying to courier stuff through the core worlds
Until I 'stumble' upon some nice cruisers or a pristine nanoforge when I go exploring.

I think you can steal nanoforges via raids if exploration is too neurodivergent for you

It can but I have the weirdest luck with nanoforges. If I am looking for them I never find them, if I'm just exploring for the shit of it I find them and then I feel obligated to start a colony and start ruining the local economy lmao.

The global economy is very disappointing with how easy it is to destroy. I usually tweak the cfg file to reduce trade profits and increase base colony upkeep. Pair this with mods that allow money-producing industries, and you can decide on whether you produce good for yourself at a loss or instead generate a modest amount of money (but much less than the you get in vanilla)

I def need a mod that makes the main factions a little stronger, all of them should be an economic powerhouse of some market.
