I really keep trying to shoehorn sci fi into D&D 5e but it never really works, much to my annoyance. Particularly, trying to get people to learn additional systems is hard, so I keep trying and failing.
Have you heard about SW5E?

Yeah, it's too space wizard for me :/ want something more like The Expanse but with 5e rules.
Traveller, or better yet 2300AD or Hostile for better fit on the setting with the same classic 2d6 rules. Cy_Borg or Stars Without Number for OSR.
Diaspora, Mindjammer, or Nova Praxis if you’re willing to try a more modern system (Fate), but the setting should be pretty close on them, depending on where in the story you want it to be. Diaspora should be a good fit if you want to explore different systems throughout a network of spheres.
