Non-military space opera recomendations (lemmy.world)

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!

Wolfhounds by John Van Stry

It does have ai characters but they don't dominate the story at all which is odd given the premise.

Also Theft of Fire by Devon Erikson. Not a space Opera at all, but a very enjoyable read.
