It's just so damn good. It has everything I love, crunchy euro mechanics, big swingy bursts of points, light combat and the feeling of growing a mighty space empire. I haven't figured out how to balance my economy versus military though. I always go all-in on my economy for agenda points, as soon as my buddies decide to attack me I'm screwed. But we generally keep to ourselves and just focus our economies, since you can fight the voidborn. I'm terrified to teach it to my other game group though, it might be too much. Definitely takes the right people to want to play it again and again.
