Great fun
It's just downright fun. No complex control schemes, no frustrations, just really good fragging goodness... in space.
The single player missions are execptionally well done. Voice acting is superb , the musical score is intense, satisfying and heightens the suspense, the story is very interesting. Everytime I play through the game I learn something new I'd missed the previous times.
After the plot, the fun comes from "fixing your factions" with the various houses and organizations in the galaxy, and saving up for one of the best very heavy fighters that appeals to you and equipping it with the best armanent.
