Well, there's plenty of things you 'can' do but are pretty inconsequential in the end.
You can do some basebuilding which can be fun for a moment, you can do the quests which boils down to fetch/kill quests, you can learn the alien languages, you can go to anomaly and do shit with other people, you can hunt for gear upgrades and/or cool ships. But in the end you'll always come back to "hold LMB to mine this mineral" kind of gameplay.
My experience with it is that I played it for 90 hours and dropped it.
