Note: Getting a lot of ratings on comments asking for multiplayer back is not going to get it back. Nothing will. It's gone because it was abused. Deal with it.
Here's how I see this game. It's a really good game. When it had MP, I saw it as a massive awesome RPG game nothing could match. But since MP is gone, I just see it as a SNES game, but with a bit more coding involved if you ask me..
Will you people be quiet? The new version is underway and, according to Ben, should be out in 1-6 months. If you would go and sign up at http://www.benoldinggames.co.uk then you would be able to monitor progress, help design possible ships, and suggest features.
