I played this when I was a kid. It was my first space flight "simulator" (along with the demo of X-Wing vs Tie Fighter) and I wasn't aware of the other X-Com games. In this context, I loved it. I recall outfitting all my craft with tachyon pulsars and salvaging everything I could. Since then I've played other games in the genre but this one holds a special place for me. While in retrospect the X-Wing series was better, I like how this game combined a space combat sim with base management. When I get the time I'll need to replay this and see how it holds up today.
