Non-military space opera recomendations (lemmy.world)

I'm looking for some good space opera. I read a lot on royal road and KU. I love space opera, but I'm sick of military and AI tropes. Any good suggestions? The more ship to ship battles the better. I understand that may be counter-intuitive, but I've read several privateer/freighter/scrapper books that were amazing. Looking for more of the same.

Thanks!

The Gap cycle by Stephen Donaldson. First book is hard to read but it's short and necessary. The rest is incredible.
