Astrobuilder

You can choose how involved you want to be. One playstyle lets you focus on trading and finding profitable deals, while another puts you in charge of branches, staff, and larger commercial operations. More than 600 AI-driven NPCs have their own goals and relationships, so the people and factions around you can react to what you do and influence how the galaxy develops. There’s also a free mode with different roles, along with frontier outposts, random events, resource management, and dangerous space phenomena to deal with. Astrobuilder is currently in Early Access, with its core trading, business management, exploration, and dynamic world systems already available.
