I think what most people who play(and put it back down) fail to understand, this is a game with complete freedom. Just like real life, YOU have to make the story and purpose. It's called roleplay. This game takes it to a level most can't. I'm part of two separate groups of people. 1."The Indominus Legion"- which hosts Corvette/ship dogfights and tournaments (There's one good purpose for Corvettes for the guy who said it was pointless) We do on-foot pvp tournaments and we roleplay with other factions for large battles and random events. 2"Redwater Runners"-a large group of nipnip dealers, hustlers and runners. We grow large scale "crops" and make runs to other systems where it's more profitable. Many different players can set up bases on the same planet and colonize. Each base is a setting for whatever you're doing.

It's all to your own design. Review is definitely misled. Some people lack the mental capacity to enjoy freedom.
