Merely answering your question, which is that if you are looking for another game 'like' the ones you mentioned, this isn't really it. So I'm not saying this as a dig against NMS. I've got several thousand hours of playtime in NMS, btw. The strongest aspects of NMS are in the exploration and discovery, and in the base-building. But where NMS falls flat is that there's not really any challenge in any of those things, nor is there any actual 'reason' (provided by the game), for any of those things.

I'm also a huge, huge fan of all the other games you mentioned. Privateer remains my favorite game, of all time, for the broad category of space-combat-exploration games.
