It's precisely simplicity and usability that it lacks for me. I've tried a couple of times to figure it out, and I've never been able to get a clue how it was meant to be used. Perhaps Fred's cheat sheet will be helpful. But the organization of Vehicles gives me a sense of "first do X, then Y, then Z," whereas Spaceship is just like seeing a box full of parts and not having a clue which ones to put together in what order.
