Looking to recreate the feel of Firefly, The Outer Worlds, The Expanse, or similar, in a ttrpg that is somewhat leaning to the hard sci fi side. Any thoughts?

I've been poking Traveller but it's hard to tell what the definitive versions are. Also Stars Without Number looks interesting.

I'm particularly looking for ship based stuff -- where the ship is statted and you can have ship to ship combat.

From my limited investigations, I think the modern version from Mongoose is the one to go with

The character generation system is amazing but from my POV its a bit Star Trek instead of Star Wars or the expanse, if that makes sense?

My only experience of it is listening to bits of it on the Glass Cannon so I may have a skewed perspective
