Tangential, but: As a big Space Trader fan I remember playing the contemporaneous game EV Nova and being so blown away by it. It felt like the same idea as Space Trader (visit different systems and buy/sell goods to make money) but then with exciting space combat, an actual storyline, and so many interesting locations!! I gave up eventually because I got stuck on a certain station, and whenever I tried to leave I was immediately killed by a swarm of stronger ships. But it was still a cool experience.
