Endless Sky is a 2D space trading and combat game similar to the classic Escape Velocity series. Explore other star systems. Earn money by trading, carrying passengers, or completing missions. Use your earnings to buy a better ship or to upgrade the weapons and engines on your current one. Blow up pirates. Take sides in a civil war. Or leave human space behind and hope to find friendly aliens whose culture is more civilized than your own.

If you like Enless Sky, play EV Nova. It's the best space game ever made. Don't trust the Vellos tho

If you're looking for Endless Sky but infinitely more autistic (in a good way), try Starsector as well. A lot more complicated, but you can literally build a civilization and genocide the rest of the galaxy if you want.

Thanks for this, I was reminded Starsector was on my list of "games I should buy at some point".

Struck by a suspicion of familiarity, I searched the name in my emails, and it turns out I did already buy it about seven years ago and then forgot, so I'm simply going to redownload it and put the serial in :)
