I got it when it came out. Really good game; nice graphics and an AI that can kick you around if your not careful. Stardock has really done well listening to the customers, and the latest Beta of the game has a lot of changes in it (visual and mechanic). I'd recommend anyone into strategy games to give it a go.

Only fault is no multiplayer.

I think putting multiplayer into the game would have really cut into the quality of the AI. Besides, I've found turn based multiplayer games really boring to play.

You have to remember a few things when playing:
1) Population gives you money. People give you income, and income lets you build stuff. The initial rush to colonize is REALLY important.
2) Specialize your planets. This can help speed up research and production, since planets aren't trying to do everything at once.
3) Constantly build up your military. The stronger your military, the less the AI will attack you.
4) Build custom ships. Not only are they better than stock ships, you can make em look cool.
