Some of Starfield’s planets are meant to be empty by design - but that’s not boring, Bethesda insists

Haha you're exploring literally just the surface of your first planet.
What I recommend for you and everyone playing this game is to just focus on the main quest up to the 3rd quest "into the unknown" and once you finish that then do side quests. While doing all of that I still explored a dozen or so POI and looted everything I can. Sold everything I can in Atlantis. If I have over 10k of loot to sell I go to trading authority in the well.
But yeah Atlantis! 3rd quest. Once that's done everything is going to start becoming revealed. Including how important and game changing skills are. So many open up tons of new playstyles! Just unlocking security opens up tons of items in unlocking. Which I actually don't mind compared to skyrim lockpicking. Then I unlocked level 1 persuasion and that opened new dialog in certain areas.
Oh and for sure get boost pack training!!! That should be your very first skill.
Piloting allows new classes of ship to be p piloted.
Starship design (and oh yes you can make your very own starship!)
Weapon engineering. Omg so much. I'm only lvl 20 and I've put in over 25 hours already. I love this game. So immersive
Thanks for the tips! I’m happy I was wrong about my initial impressions.
@Aermis @Fapper_McFapper This all sounds like great advice, but I can't get past that simmulator training thing. 😞
Like the first beginning of the game? The mining mission? What's stopping you?
@Aermis No, the Vanguard piloting exam (got to defeat at least three tiers, I think). I just continue to take too much damage and the exam finishes.
Oh I haven't even started that quest line lol
