Looking for conventional ship and crew adventures that aren't tied to a franchise (lemmy.ca)

Mass Effect, Star Trek, similar stuff, without the giant franchise money machine. To consume like popcorn.

One of my favourites is Spiral Wars by Joel Sheppard.

Yeah, most Cherryh is not ship-and-crew in the sense you are talking about (though I loved the duct-tape feel of the ships in Heavy Time, iirc). Rimrunners might be the closest to what you are looking for though. And yep, it is Union-Alliance. For Cherryh, I guess maybe The Pride of Chanur would be ship-and-crew adventure? I can't quite remember as it was long, long, long ago I read that stuff -- who knows how well its aged. It's cover doesn't look super compelling to me these days. So I'm not recommending it. Ha ha.
