Since nobody has mentioned it, I'll throw in "X4: Foundations". The X series is janky in places but oh so satisfying if you can get past the jank. Build a military empire to take over the galaxy, or maybe a trading empire. Or maybe you want to become an industrialist and build huge stations to print money. You can be a pirate or a salvager or any combination of the above. And there are tons of interesting mods if you get sick of the vanilla game.
Love this game!
The whole X series kept going even when the space sim genre went mostly dormant for like a decade. I've loved every one I've played. You do have to get through some serious jank sometimes and the learning curve can be steep, but it is totally worth it.
