what can be said about this game that hasn't already been said. Its really what you make of it, you can be an explorer, trader, base builder, bounty hunter, etc.. it is set in an entirely handcrafted world with a huge variety of ecosystems and communities that can be explored for hundreds of hours. It has a huge modding community and regularly receives patches from the developers (if you're worried about how it runs). I cant say this game is for everyone, but if its appealing to you despite how different it is, you should really give it a chance.
