3.17 is live and it adds some of the following to the mix

Refuelling - Anyone out there with a Starfarer, now's the time to see what they can do
Better AI - (They do seem a little more active than before on ship and ground combat), also desync is getting better.
Selling - Okay trade has always been a thing but it's mainly spreadsheet stuff, but now you can loot a dead body, guns or boxes and sell the stuff back to the shops.
Looting - Lots more boxes to loot with rare items.
Mining gadgets - New reusable devices that allow you to crack open rocks easier, there is a 50:50 change the device may be destroyed in the process.
New water stuff - Seas have been in for a long time and were pretty deadly, but now with the introduction of a river on MT they have overhauled it.

I've also noticed they have sneaked working airlocks back into the game.

So for those wondering.... this is what is currently in game.

Bounties - Ship and ground, ground is usually in an outpost or cave system, ship is in or out of atmosphere.
Trading - Buying and moving stuff for shiny profit or not.
Deliveries - Pick up box from point A and deliver to point B, get paid.
Recovery - Same as above but point A may be in a wreck site and possibly have baddies.
Investigation - Client sends you to check something out, maybe search for bodies or black boxes (may include gunfire, but this would be alluded to in the text)
Mining - Probably the most complex game loop in at the moment with gems, small/medium/large rocks and asteroids.
Mercenary - Lots of shooty stuff, defending a site, destroying a drugs lab, clearing an enemy hideout, blowing up hacking satellites, neutralizing space guns and more.
Medical - You can heal and revive people, in your team or sometimes someone (real player) might activate a medical alert beacon for a rescue.
Baddy stuff - Criminal activities.
Stuff I missed - Because BRAIN.

New ship in 3.17 is the Hull-A, a transforming small freighter. 3.17.1 is in Evo at the moment and will introduce the Scorpius, an X-winged 2 man fighter with co-pilot turret.

And last but not least, it is so damn pretty.
