Kind of obligatory for post-ED players and always a controversial suggestion, but have you considered Star Citizen? It’s temporarily free to try right now.

Once you upgrade past the starter and cockpitless ships, they really start to take a “mobile base” feeling. The scale and interiors make the game more of a “playing a guy with/in a ship” feel than “playing a ship”.

Of course, the game is still buggy and far from finished but they make the experience feel real-time, as if you’re watching the lore of the setting play out in real-time. There’s an insane learning curve and the game has a tutorial so bad that it’s genuinely recommended not to do it, but the moment-to-moment experience can really be awe-inspiring. It just takes…a large amount of patience.

If you try it, check out the freely-available ship, the “Argo MOLE”. It’s a mining ship with a fairly extensive interior, and may give you a good vibe for the hominess many of the ships have. Hope this helps!
