Elite Dangerous; ETS (w/ combat) in Space?

A'ight

so I recently got Elite Dangerous as I've been quite hyped with the whole space exploration open world MMO stuff. Got myself up and running with a few courier and transport jobs from multiple markets, racked up a few mil. in CR, and got myself my first ship upgrade. Now hear me out.

After playing a while, and getting tired of the LONG wait times when in hypercruise towards a space station in the outer regions of the system I'm in, it really dawned on me that ED is really just Euro Truck Simulator in space with the added mechanic of combat and the nice surprise of running into other commanders.

Thoughts? I really wanna make the most out of this game and I'm honestly sitting here wondering if this is all the game is. :monkachunka:
