It needs more content. It’s simple. It’s in space, show us aliens. Sci fi experiments and goop. Picture fallout but in space. Bring us that. Game is too tame, just fighting humans in space is boring.

I think the main problem is the generated content is mixed in with the handcrafted stuff right from the start.

The main game should have been a local cluster of stars where everything is hand crafted - entire planets - which all end up with at least the same amount of game as an elder scrolls game. Then the procedurally generated content can be beyond the local cluster but it also benefits from having more content to pull from for its generation. The game suffers hard from relying on too few assets for generation.
