A 17-odd-limit stellated Hexany. This creates a scale of 1 17/16 35/32 595/512 5/4 85/64 7/4 119/64 2/1, with steps of 17/16 35/34 17/16 128/119 17/16 112/85 17/16 128/119. This only adds two notes to the base hexany, which do not reduce the size of the largest step or add any perfect fifths, but does increase the number of diatonic fifths available to 3, plus a 4th one that is only slightly sharper than a 5edo fifth. The result is xenharmonic but still quite melodically effective, with all the steps large enough to be distinct.
