When I play Ecplise (without expansion) I feel that it is too easy to for players to focus on a single target through allies, either in game or just throught talking.
Also, the first player who attacks is generally left weak at at least one tile which means that another player can attack you when you're vulnerable. This is true when someone tries to actually engage the enemies mid-game and not just on round 9. And if the attackers manage to get into the core of your map, you're completely screwed. And finally, I sometimes feel that the discovery tiles decide the winner. If you get shitty tiles (no monies!), you don't get the economy going
I want to love Eclipse, but I think the game is flawed, what do you reckon? Will this expansion make the game more enjoyable for me do you think?

I think you need to learn to mitigate the issues you have first. You need to really control access into your areas and be able to defend them. If you are strong enough to defend your areas people won't throw themselves at you.
