Not so sure what all the negative reviews are about. I've been involved with development builds for a couple years and the game has never been empty or a shell. Maybe the GOG version, but certainly not the Steam version. The game's complete. It's full of life, quests, and quite frankly, is so much fun it's eaten a great deal of life. It's a lot more challenging that it used to be, but at the same time, it's so much fun. It adds an actual feeling of danger of diving deep into a planet or into a laser dungeon.
