(I'm yet to figure out quite why, though)
Unfortunately, this has dramatically reduced my sparetime.
However, I think I'm going to set aside a few hours to get my Oolite spec up to date, and kick some butt.
I've noticed some tremendous screenshots - the graphics interface has come on leaps and bounds since I last played.
I'm now off to scour the board for some re-vamped "classic" ships, some new space stations, pretty planets (and, I believe, moons too now?), and some nice nebulae for the background...
Now, it appears, all that's needed is planets with rings!

Keep up the good work, people!
