It allows for so many different styles of play, focus on trading, focus on being a pirate, focus on being a smuggler, focus on being a diplomat, focus on storymissions, or doing a combination of all these. And since getting from one system to the other and seeing your contacts and stumbling over things and getting distracted usually takes time, I feel like I barely get all the stuff done I want to do.
You will always do a combination of nearly all, the only real choice is to trade or not.
Smuggler, diplomat, fighter or whatever, you will still fight and do a card game.
And in every traditional rpg you will always wander around, fighting enemies, talking to npcs and buying items.
And in every strategy game you will always manage your ressources and try to overcome your competitors.
And in every adventure game you will click on things in the environment and use/combine things together.
And in every shooter you will shoot at things and trying to avoid getting hit.
