I agree with you, the game does lack some surprise factor. As you say, no random events and no anomalies/wrecks.
You feel curiosity (another important factor) sometimes but probably not as much as you should. You're limited to the what's-there moments only produced when you explore the systems and wonder if they will have a rich ideal planet or if a rival is to be found around the corner. But again you lack derilights or random events to spice up curiosity and surprise.
As for techs I do fancy them but they can run out very quickly as you say. Patch 1.02 mitigates this aspect a bit since now you can set the research speed so that techs don't run out so quickly if you want to.
