Really damn good game so far. However, you have to treat it like a campaign for Star Trek the Next Generation, instead of a sandbox game like the original Stellaris. Now, these games share gameplay, but the pace of the game, and the smaller scale I think fit the theme so much better. I find it much more enjoyable than just playing a random Stellaris star race since you know what your role in the universe is - especially if you like Star Trek and know stuff about the lore.

Otherwise, I think the art & music is great, and increases the immersion of being there controlling one of the four different factions. This is probably Paradox's best release in years, to be honest, so hats off to the devs (Nimble Giant Entertainment). Can't wait for what they cook in the form of DLC.
