Dogfights are amazing, the side quests are not

Initial impression rating after 2.5 hours of play: 6/10. I love the idea of dogfighting in a spaceship, but in my brief experience with the game so far, the entire game seems to be flying around in space and occasionally getting into a very difficult dogfight which usually ends in my death. I didn't hate the game and there seems to be some interesting stuff going on in terms of upgrading your ship, but the combination of the steep learning curve and flying around lost in space didn't hold my attention for very long.

This is one of the most boring games I have ever played, and I have played a lot of games.
-Gigantic universe, but too few things to do. Everything is just too far away.
-Riddiculous objectives. Gives you an enormous space and says "Find the cargo, just fly around with you sense". Why? Why should I just midlessly find the right cargo.
-Boring escort missions
-Boring air combat.
-That endless internal dialog is just too boring too. I think they tried something like Hellblade.
-I got another Quest, wher I just go and find the logs. just fly arouund and arouuund and arouuund. AFter foruth or fifth log, I got too bored, I aborted the mission.

Everything is just too boring.
But they did a good job on the environment, the graphic are nice too.
