I think the time this game demands from someone is a main reason for me to skip rounds every now and then. However, lately there has also come the boredom factor.

Basically this game is too one-dimensional when it comes to succeeding at it. Ok, the combat system is quite interesting again, but ultimately the game only consists of "find a target, launch your fleet, check result" - which is too repetitive to be enjoyable. Real ingame interaction with other players is also limited to combat / information gathering only, which is another point on the downside. It would certainly have made the gaming experience more fun if there would have been options to combine research efforts, a trade market and so on.
