A game similar to the Expanse and Firefly. A space exploration, trading and combat game where you fly around a single solar system in a small ship and can also land on planets (please not procedurally generated though. Just make fewer places you can visit, but design them).
Oh, and with realistic Newtonian physics. Even if that means combat will be largely about who can fire the most missiles. But it would also mean you can avoid enemies altogether by planning the right planetary slingshot, millions of miles before you'd meet them.

Outer Wilds comes close, but I'd love something more gritty, realistic and on a bigger scale.

Evochron. One dev, super dedicated to this concept.

So basically Anno 2307?

I haven't played Anno 2205, but what your describing seems a bit further in time than that game. The start of colonization of the Moon vs settling/trading with the full solar system.

Elite Dangerous has some of those elements, not quite what you're describing rhough
