I have played Hazeron and followed its development for 10 years. So this game is rather norstagic and dear to my heart.

The game might have some rough edges, but it makes up for it with complexity that you rarely see in other space games.

You start on a world with barely anything. You gather basic resources to handcraft some equipment and then search for a place to start your civilization.

You will construct your first city one building at a time by hand, until you begin to have citizens that can run the workshops for you and complete the construction work for even more buildings.

You will develop your civilization until you can manufacturing space rockets and spacecraft so you can travel beyond your homeworld.

Hazeron has seamless travel from the surface of your homeworld and to any other world in your solar system. The only loading screen you will encounter is when you load into another solar system.

The celestial bodies of your solar system have real orbits. Space travel is newtonian at first, but some futuristic gravity drive will make travel easier.

Travel to other solar systems can be done without FTL, simply slow boating it to the destination star. But traveling with one of the FTL drive options will get you to your destination faster.

The universe is massive. Each star in the sky can be visited and they are procedurally generated. You will even find ancient megastructures.

The game does however have some flaws, and won't be to everyone's taste. You can design your own spacecraft and buildings, but the designer will take some getting used to. Unless you like exploration and expanding your civilization, there won't be a lot to do in the game after a certain point.

Most of all, my favorite thing about this game has always been following its development and engaging with the community.
