It's not a game for me, but I suspect some people will love it.
I don't boggle at some of the starship stuff as badly as I do the equipment issue. I've run some numbers and the number of BP a 1st level group get will build them a minimal ship and that is attractive.

It's just the "How do we upgrade our ship? We go kill Space Goblins!" thing.
