Main game loop is breaking iceroids, grabbing nuggets, which can be a chill experience if you want to take it slow. Fine for me every once in a while. Game lore is handled in unique way - you get to hear and get involved in your crew stories. Other than that - read descriptions of gear and talk to other captains in the rings. There is no end goal or boss, so aside from keeping your company running you need to set your own goals. There are some factions you can try to be friendly with ... or shoot each other.
