Fun game, and it does add some new ships and interest for space battles. The criminal syndicate really adds to the replay and enjoyment of the single player campaign so I woudl definitely recommend it.
Make sure to get the patches for it though, otherwise some of the expansions units are way over powered.
(There's a fair number of fun mods out for it as well to add to the replay/fun factor.)
Yes get the Expansion. I got it just for the B-Wings, but realised it has so much other great content. Mods for it are awesome too, my favourite is z3r0x's 3.5 mod. Dreadnoughts are killer.
In the regular expansion, I think the ZC are overpowered though. I can hold the map while teching with 2 Vengence, a hero, the starting Svipers and some missile turrets. IOnce you get Agressors, the game is yours since no capital ship can match them. Actually they do need support, but they as long as they dont get attacked they can dish out massive damage with their huge guns. Kedalbe battleships are very cool. They drain enemy shields for power. One good strat I find effective is to go B-Wing + Gunboat. Survives massdrivers and cuts through fighters and hardpoints. Its fast and cheap. You can heal your fleet with repair stations and run around the map harrasing mines, then attack the enemy base so you can keep the fight on their side.
I was thinking if getting the expansion, but, does it have a lot of new content for space fights?
Now, lets see if anyone ever visits this outer rim of the forums.
