There is still quite an active MP community. The 1.3 patch and FE mod
changes and bug fixes have helped alot. There are some pretty killer
maps now, and the AI is alot better then 1.2 

They don't bounce off each other quite as much, and can actually hold
their own. The new Hadian ships are pretty awesome. Also they made a
new build strategy, but it's still pretty much BZ2.

The singleplayer for FE is pretty freakin hard though. You'll die,
ALOT. =P
