Looking for new trading game.

I am looking for a new trading game.  I would prefer turn based.  I recently tried Star Traders Frontiers and did not like the rogue like game play.  

I would like a game where I can either fly or sail around, manage my crew, and trade as well as have some combat.  No rogue like
games please.

Thanks in advance.

When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot - it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.”

    Have you heard of Starsector? It's an
    in-development open-world single-player space-combat, roleplaying, exploration, and economic game.

    I can only recommend the X series from Egosoft: X4 has recently received another update and is, in my opinion, a hidden gem, one of the best games of the space trading & combat genre out there. See https://www.egosoft.com/games/x4/info_en.php

    Palia – A cozy world made for you

    One to look out for in the future. Combat will be optional and it will involve exploring to find rare resources and also corporative crafting.

    Pirates of the Burning Sea is pretty good for trading. The Freetrader class gets some good trading ships and skills. You sail round the Caribbean going from pot to port and trading. You can also set up industries, mines, etc, at ports.

    It's an MMO, with PvP, so your port could get blockaded and you'd have to risk running into PvP when you go in or out of that port. If they sink you, they get your cargo.

    Building ships is pretty complicated, a single player cannot do it alone.

    I looked at this from your recommendation and it looks like it started development in 2010 and is still not complete.   Not sure it makes sense to buy into a game that has been in development for over a decade.

    I was hoping for a single player suggestion.  I know someone else wanted an mmo.  Hopefully this helps them.

    I have played a lot of ED.  Not sure I want to go back to it just yet.
