I read the 2012 thread, looked at the game, still not sure what to make of it. I'm not fully into PVP but the issue stated was that is was a heavy pvp game. Has anything changed in the last 3 years? Is it any good asside from graphics and engine?
Sometimes, when all you want is to gain your freedom, you must be willing to risk it all.

And yes it's still a heavy pvp game.
It looks like its just a pvp sandbox scenario space sim. No exploring no economy outside blowing things up.
Almost like a space version of Mech Warrior On line.
Although they have added a galaxy map mode that serves as a half pve mode, half factional warfare mode I believe. The arena pvp mode is still available.

Open Space was added, new PvE missions, weekly Tournaments, Playable dreadnoughts (but only access with a Corporation), the Conquest mode was added into Open Space, each corporations have their own System and if they built an own Dreadnought flying around there (yes Dreads can also be used in open space). So the Corporation wars now happen in Open Space.
Some new Guns, system loadouts, guns, Missions = PvE/PvP/Open Space. YEs, exploring was added since there are Aliens now after 3 years of Development "invasion", so fighitng alien threats yada yada. Alien Home Worlds to explore, collect goods and sell them, yea well pretty much alot new has been added, but with pros and cons.
New Systems, new Stations to dock and it's still increasing like that.

It does honestly look fun. But I'm really into the 4x of space sims like freelancer. The beam weapons remind me of MW3 a lot and I wish they would have made freelancer 2.....more now than ever.
