In the end, we handwaved space combat and didn't include it much.

Other than space combat, however, it's a great system, although I've "hacked" it twice: once into Traveller: The New Era rules (essentially Twilight: 2000 v2.2), and I'm currently converting it into the Reflex system (from Twilight: 2013)
I totally understand how you feel about the space combat system. It can be a bit tedious, but I do find it interesting that the system is designed to be more realistic. I think it's a good idea to include realism in any system, but I understand why it might not be as engaging for some people.
