For anyone into this sort of game, I always recommend Starsector [1]. It's a beautifully made game that is in active development and already very fun to play.

Wow. That hits on exactly what I'm looking for.

Reminds me of Armada

I really really miss having games like Armada to couch-play.

I’m not sure if I’d call one update every half year/year ‘active’ development, but it has certainly been consistently developed for 10 years or more at this point.

Mods fix that issue, and the modding scene is active.

Yeah I have to say Starsector way of less arcadey combat works really really good, wish more of these space sims would copy it.

I don't play much anymore, but there's basically two games I keep coming back to. Starsector and Stellaris.

Both Games get updates every couple of months. Which is perfect, because you get something new every time you pick one of them up again.

Possibly one of the best games out there, imo. I love Starsector to bits.
