You played a lot! I agree with most of your comments and want to add all of that gets just a bit better, more easy, and fun with a second player.
A friend and I would take turns piloting and engineering. The trick was to make good decisions as the "engineer" player, like taking that warp when destruction was imminent, or being able to vary speed while watching the pilot deal with the baddies.
Of course, it was great fun to yell, "shields!", "map", "4", etc... too!
