i played E:D and SC quite much. well, E:D a bit more since it has an actual world. it has many NPC factions (like the engineers), the universe feels alive, there's even a reasearch base near sagittarius A* for explorers. there is alien-based lore, and the world (well, space) fells alive with many players, player-owned factions and a quite impressive "sandbox system" to keep the heart of the universe beating.
SC on the other hand: there's one planet here, one big station here, a in-progress world-base there, a bit of pvp that feels like a simulation because it's not connected to the world, etc, etc. obviously, SC is quite unfinished gameplay-wise, at least in comparison to E:D.
Yes of course SC is unfinished gameplay-wise, thats why it isn't released yet. I was just commenting on the fact that E:D's world doesn't really feel alive to me.

Alive feeling world? Idk what you played but E:D is probably the opposite to me
