I haven't played it myself yet, but it's something I've had my eye on for a while now. As someone who grew up with Star Trek: Starfleet Command, I was really interested in the idea of the first game, but it all kinda fell apart in actual execution apparently. So when the sequel came on to Early Access, I was a bit leery of it. But by most accounts it seems like the developers are trying really hard and taking everything to heart to really make a pretty solid game. It sounds exactly like the type of space game I've been looking for the past few months, and it's good to hear so many people say that it's pretty fun.
Only reason I haven't jumped on it myself is because... well, I've got other things occupying my time and money at the moment.
