I played it once many years ago with some folks I met at work who were fellow Star Trek fans. They invited me to come over to play SFB and I was naturally very interested.
It was the longest, dullest game I ever played in my life and couldn't wait to get out of there.
And once my ship was destroyed, you are left with absolutely nothing to do but watch others play, which was torture for me as well.
Of course YMMV. I can see some of the aspects I found annoying being very enjoyable to others who are in to that sort of stuff.
And yet another word from our sponsors
