I’d reccomend trying it out on gamepass, or via piracy, before buying. It’s not a bad game by any means, and as you said it does a lot of things, but most of the things feel half baked.
The ship combat in particular takes influence from E:D, but is nowhere near as good.
I’m an Elder Scrolls veteran (Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim), I know quite well what Bethesda games do well and what not. And they have always clicked for me, even though all of them are flawed in different ways.
As for ship combat, as long as it’s comparable to X3, it’s fine. I’m not expecting Children of a Dead Earth or Independence War🙂

This is good advice.
