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!

Adrian Tchaikovsky

"Shards Of the Earth" Scrappy band of outsiders are trying to fight giant, mysterious machines [?] that destroy entire systems, apparently for fun.

He's probably the best of the new.

Poul Anderson.

"War Of The Wingmen." A fat, lazy space trader is marooned on a plaent where all the food is poison. He'd got to overthrown a few kingdoms to survive. SF classic from an old master
