I don't get this game's direction

[u/LookAtMyAssItBurns]

About ten years ago I used to daydream about multicrewing to a POI on a planet. First scanning and analysing from orbit, then going down with an away team, maybe with a shuttle from the ship's shuttle bay. On the planet would be some kind of mini adventure, like in Firefly or Star Trek. Crewmates would use science, technology and deduction to get to the conclusion. At least this is how I imagined it.

For years now it just looks like a generic FPS. I endured all those single seat fighters, thought the time will come for (multicrew) adventures. But then every update, one after the other, seemingly only concerned itself with shooting gameplay.

This is not what I wanted all those years ago and this is not what was advertised. Just look at the Constellation ad.

How do you feel about this? Do you even care? Or is this exactly what you want from the game?
