Having played for over a hundred hours, I think the best new feature is the problem.
Flying your ship is great, but since everything is done via quick travel in menus, it's not really 'fun', you always jump into orbit and either a random encounter occurs or nothing at all happens.
Imagine spaceship experience that was more in line with how the control center in Battlestar Galactica works. You can just have room with an interactive mini-map to interact with. Then maybe they could have put more effort into making the galaxy less empty.
This was my biggest gripe. A game with an extensive spaceship building experience, battle features, different weapon types and the best they can come up with is "fast travel to a random event in space 7/10 nothing happens, the rest is Irish man singing, maybe a quick battle and mining rocks by blowing them up". All in a tiny space.
