Starsector (formerly Starfarer) is still in development but it's been a seriously impressive game for years. Not yet on Steam or any other store, as you have to buy it direct, but don't let that stop you with a big update out now.

      I just learned of it today and was checking out their dev blog and it went back to 2011??? That’s crazy.

          Yes its a lot like M&B but in space, it cost like 10€ but if you want to try it first, look at the video SsethTzeentach made about it, there is a (developers approved) code to play for free. I would also recommend looking at ironcladlion’s videos, because the modding scene is BIG and add a ton of replayability to the game. Honestly 11/10 i spend a few months each year replaying the fuck out of it.

    I’m guessing one of the reasons it’s not in Steam is that it depends on Java to run? I don’t recall every having a Java based game on Steam
