But the romance part isn't.And I wouldn't mind throwing in some of those:Build Weapons systems or build Weapons systems that produce weapons ?issues.That issue is mentioned once -- something along the lines of "Bolthole to devote 75% of effort to new constructioninstead of new weapons".I probably set a high standard here because I've read Churchill's 6-volumes on WWII and the appendicies thatinclude his comments (not many other people get to say anything) about the hard choices in 1941 and 1942between weapons now or better weapons later (if we don't lose in the short term) are very interesting..Titanic Space Opera goes better with something between the epic battles more complex than:"He is so wonderful - am I worthy of his love"and"Doctor Zarkoff - what new gadgets do you have for me ".The interplay with other races empires is great, I'd just like to see it pushed even harder.Otherwise the'blah blah launched six thousand missiles yadda yadda"is going to become boring.Still a very good read..
