I agree with you on most of your points, but I recently reentered the
game and am very impressed with Rolling Thunder Games.  If you ever think
about reentering the game, I would do so now.

The game is very established but currently many affliations need new
blood so there are plenty of colonies to run and ships to play with.  The
nice thing about Rolling Thunder Games is that they plan on taking a real
hands off approach and are really following through so far and they are
quick with response time.

BTW, there is going to be a completely new area opening up in the
beginning of 1995 which no players will be able to bring huge ships
through so it will be a level playing field and it will be connected to
the Capellan Per.  The blackhole is forming in Applecore right now
(although I am not sure it conencts to the new area).  Hmm other
developments are that the Bokar (planet size lifeforms) have entered a
new faze of growth and much much more.
