Games like Elite Dangerous

I love space games, all manner of space games, shooting stuff, mining stuff, exploring stuff, flying, walking, you name it. And I'm yearning for the feeling that Elite once gave me. But 592 hours in, I feel like I don't have anything else to do in the game. I have tried X4, and while it's cool, it doesn't give me the feeling of Elite, it quickly becomes Stellaris and I have to manage my space empire, and I don't want that now, same with Starpoint Gemini Warlords, amazing game, but I don't want to manage my space empire. I have already as many hours in No Man's Sky.

I am considering trying either Everspace 2 or Starpoint Gemini 3, so if you guys can send me in the direction of either one, or recommend a different one, I heard that X Rebirth is decent now, and it's on
a way more personal level than X3 or X4.

And yes, Outer Wilds and Subnautica, yada yada.
