If you thought that the three games that make up the Mass Effect franchise (and no, Andromeda doesn't count) are the only space RPG games worth talking about, then you're wrong.
While the Mass Effect franchise no doubt deserves all the love, there are other space RPG games out there too.

Halcyon 6
Halycon 6 is probably the best space RPG game that you have never heard of -- until now.
This tactical space RPG simulator incorporates elements from multiple genres. It has you gathering resources by sending out ships as the leader of the last vestiges of humanity who find themselves living in an ancient space station. But, you don't just send out ships too. You'll have to train capable captains to commandeer these ships and do combat against whatever lurks out there.
While this neat little cycle of building ships to gather necessary resources and training captains all the while managing your crew with the occasional space invaders would've made a nice game on its own, Halcyon 6 ups the ante by having you defend against a hostile race of invasive space monsters known as the Chrull.
Much of the story of the game revolves around you preparing humanity for the Chrull, who are hellbent on destroying the galaxy.
