There's basically no point in trading or accepting mercenary missions at the various trade stations.

This almost perfectly describes it. Turrets completely destroy everything though. I tried playing the game again after running through X3 and it felt so empty. Obviously not a great comparison due to the depth of X3; DS1 is an alright diversion but there are other space combat sims out there to play. Then again it's a good way to see if you like the genre/a game to play after you've played all the others.
