Sandboxish space games?

Haven't played in a decade, but I got some time now... Does anyone know a game that's close to these guidelines?

Must Have: -Controller Support (I'm on a Legion Go) -Normal/Easy mode. -Not incredibly farmy. -Alternate ways of making resources (mining, salvaging) between combat rounds, combat not the main focus. -Crafting/Upgrades. -Large ships. -Open World/ Open End/Sandbox.

Guidelines:

-It would be great to have a mobile base/mothership/vehicle. I like playing nomad games where all you have is stashed in one giant hull, which you can park and undock specialized salvaging/mining/fighters. -Having a home base somewhere is fine too, as long as I can haul my some operations with me. -The bigger the ships, the better.

Major dislikes: -Tiny ship pew pew savage fast gunfighting. -Only tiny ships.

I have played and greatly enjoyed: Space engineers, Freelancer, tons of other non-space, slow paced, relaxing sandbox games. I'm familiar with Eve, I like it, too bad other people play it.

I tried: Underspace, it does not work with a controller. Downloading Everspace2

Not sure about NMS, seen some clips, does not seem.to scratch the hulking carrier itch, but maybe I've seen the wrong clips.
