This one is new on Steam in Early Access. It's a low-fi space sim that might best be described as "PRIVATEER if you were a space submarine instead of a space fighter."

There seem to be a lot of systems involved: trade, combat, emission control (for stealth), maintenance (involving many different kinds of spare parts and their placement), Newtonian physics (though only 2D) and a certain amount of choose-your-own-adventure text role-playing.

It's $18 and all of the reviews are positive. If it were $10 I'd be all over it right away, but I'd love to know if anyone here knows anything about its depth.
Much prefer my Nazis Nuremberged.

It looks a lot like Rules of Engagement, a spaceship sim from just about 25 years ago.

I kind of like it, but no sale until it's out of Early Access.
