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!

check out the OG space operas, the Lensman and Skylark series by E.E. 'doc' Smith if you haven't already. He also has a bunch of other rollicking adventure tales that are pretty great. You just need to bear in mind the time period they were written in (1920s-1950s)..
