It had very little replay value for me. Just not enough options for customization... can't even play as a different race than boring humans. Also, I do not at all like how they handled tech areas and anomolies (mostly the anomolies) enhancing everything by just doing a small percent bonus to various aspects, such as economy, trade, military, etc. Kind of silly... The combat is extremely simplistic, though a little above the classic Civilization combat model. No unit customization at all. Transporting population is handled very strangely, with a very poor interface... Same with setting up colony ships. Also, it is annoying to constantly have to siphon people off of larger colonies, as the more people you get, the more overcrowded the world becomes. It was a major source of micromanagement... One good thing was that the facility images were extremely easy to borrow for SE4.
