Just put up some free rule sets! I also want to add a list of purchasable games to this as well, if there are any that someone wants highlighted let me know And I'll add them!

 Can we add Hardware Studios to this list? They have a full set of stls for printing a fleet suitable for "A Billion Suns" and a rather nice mega-freighter that could be used anywhere.

 Website - https://hardwarestudios.co/

 Fleet - https://hardwarestudios.co/product/consortium-spacefleet/

 Freighter - https://hardwarestudios.co/product/consortium-megafreighter-stl/

 Asteroid bases - https://hardwarestudios.co/product/consortium-spaceports-stl-megapack/

Thanks for the mention on Quantum Rebellion!

 In addition to official stores supplying stls to print one's own fleet, there are various designers offering their fleets at low prices on many websites. This is one of the more prolific and varied scale artist's work -

 Some people may be familiar with long-term 3D sculptor artist Mr. Charles Oines, mainly in his work with Battletech computer games, and maybe less his not-OGRE vehicles for Microworld Games. Famously, he's been running  a store on Shapeways for some time, and has now decided that, while that store continues, he is selling the stl files for his fleets on a Gumroad store as single sets (Probably about as expensive as one large vessel from Shapeways) and all his civilian ships and stations as bundles as well for private printing.

Seems like some good deals - https://coines23.gumroad.com/?sort=page_layout

 A new design fleet of ships are available as STLs on Hardware Studio's digital asset page - the Hellas Shipyard range.

 Force Projection Pack - https://hardwarestudios.co/product/force-projection/

 Escort And Patrol Craft Pack - https://hardwarestudios.co/product/escort-patrol/

 Strike Craft Pack - https://hardwarestudios.co/product/strike-craft/

[Covertwalrus]

 And on Gumroad, among a range of useful 28mm figures for certain skirmish games involving stellar conflicts ( Hint, hint ) is this nice little fleet -

It is always good to see the actual dimensions listed for intended print sizes, and the different options on base and stands they had for the small craft are a nice touch too.

 Strike Craft Pack - https://hardwarestudios.co/product/strike-craft/

[Covertwalrus]

 Yes, Hardware Studios are meticulous in that respect - And for the Hellas Shipyard range, two sizes of Modular Utility ships are now available  https://hardwarestudios.co/product/hellas-shipyards-utility-ship-pack/
