No Man’s Sky - Hackdot

I really hope that the tech in this game becomes merely the framework for more and more detailed 4x style games.

I personally would love a game where you choose a role, from tradepost manager to shipping magnate and the universe is large and complete enough to make this kind of role rewarding and interesting.

You're looking for one of the X3 games (Terran Conflict or Albion Prelude), I think. With a bunch of community mods, it's exactly as you've described.

It's hard to say anything for sure given how little actual gameplay info they've provided so far, but it doesn't look like No Man's Sky's going to be that kind of simulation. It's very much a wanderer's game.

Woah, you mean I can sign up to be a shipping magnate moving goods across the universe in real life :)
