Here's a Kickstarter aimed at raising $50,000 to develop Wayward Terran Frontier, a single-player and multiplayer trading- and exploration-themed action/RPG set in space with an FTL feel (thanks Justin). They offer this "Ambition" trailer to show things off, and here's an explanation of the game from their Kickstarter pitch:

The game takes place inside a procedurally generated galaxy filled with dynamic events, making each game a brand new adventure.

At the every galaxy’s heart is a handful of human worlds which act as safe havens, and commerce hubs with functional economies. The core planets are brimming with life, surrounded by space stations and NPCs going about their daily lives (yours to bother and exploit). Out in the wilds of frontier space, there is more opportunity for profit—but also far greater danger.

Play How You Want

Wayward Terran Frontier lets you experience content the way you choose. You can be an honest freighter captain, delivering cargo and winning the galaxy over with charm and diplomacy from the safety of the core planets, or take to the wild frontier as a pirate in pursuit of plunder and glorious explosions. WTF will initially be a Windows-only release, but a port for Mac and Linux are both long-term goals.
