I think you have to like space exploration, and be willing to learn how to
dogfight. 

It's a hard game at first, because you only have one very slow interceptor
group, with glass ships. By the late game, things are different, -you're an Air
Traffic Contoller/ Emperor who drops into combat every few minutes and makes
one of your pilots an ace.
