I tihnk Star Trek adventures is worth thinking about. However it find it not "rules light". On paper the rules sound very complex albeit they do get easier with usage. The material is presented in TNG-LCARS-style and the default setting is the TNG era. So that might be a fit.
I’ve always been partial to FASA. Then again, I’m old.

I've always said "It is your game" you use the play style that suits it. Rules heavy, rules light.
