If you think Elite:Dangerous lacks diversity, you may try some of the things that user "rjSampaio" suggested:
"Elite dangerous dont have a main
quest like most other mmo games, but in heart is a RPG, where you define
how you want to play it.
Do you
like to explore, as in, that nebula i keep seeing obver there, can i
reach it, how colorfull is it, i bet i can get great screen shots from a
planet?
get a ship whit A grade FSD
get a fuel scoop
get a SRV
say goodbye to your family, you are going on a adventure.
Do
you fell like Han Solo? selling illegal cargo for better profit but in
the end you still dont care there are other ships in game, you love that
old model?
grab a hauler or a fast ship
buy/ find some illegal goods
reach your destination
enable silent running and hope cops wont notice you
Do you feel that Han Solo always shots first, even to steal some cargo?
get some weapons
get a FSD interdictor
ask nicely first (if its a another commander)
dont forget a pet parrot, your a pirate now.
Your grandfather was a miner, your father was a miner, and you want to strike as well gold?
get some miming lasers
go to a ring system and start mining
hope there are not many other people that have parrot pets around...
I just like to shoot stuff up.
grab weapons
fly to the nearest Rez and kill some wanted people. oh, you are the wanted one?
Play in open, especially around CG and, there are other captains that are role-playing one of the others.
For
each one of these Roles, there are adequet missions in the stations
around the bubble (habitable space around Sol) and if you really want to
stick to group take a look powerplay, there is probably one of the
leaders that makes you feel like home.
Some player groups (like the Fuel Rats https://youtu.be/3h2x6e216c8) made a extra efford to provide a better feal of roleplay outside of the norms.
the
game will never end (no end game/story) so apriciate every bit of them,
dont fall in temptation to grind credits/reputation, you wont fell
better whit a bigger/expensive ship, most people that have them normally
prefer small/medium ships.
last
but probably most important, read alot, this game need 3rd party support
in some aspects, fell free to ask anything else but check the side
links first.
