I haven't gotten the event yet(surprisingly) but I'm hearing lots of complaints about it. What are it's flaws? How would you rate the current experience from 1-10?
How good/bad is the War in Heaven?

I had a bug where the war would not end despite all of the enemy systems being captured. Warscore was stuck on 84%.
I would love to have it happemn to me for once, but so far all that ever happens is one FE awakening, deciding to DoW my super-federation, get wrecked, then eaten by Unbidden which I then have to kick out of my galaxy again.
And then there aren't enough FE's left to trigger the Heaven War.
I should probably play on larger galaxy sizes...

I played on a 600 star galaxy to have all 4 FE. The war in heaven was actually quite easy as the spiritualist wiped out the materialist fleet then I came in mopped up the remains and finished the materialist by capturing the ring. Next I went and destroyed the fleet the spiritualist were building. It was a bit underwhelming but mostly because I managed to stay out till the epic death struggle between the 2 AFE fleets

I like it, it adds a "drive" to the game where you are forced to do something and dont just sit and get bored.
There is a major bug that declaration of War in Heaven steals all your subjects. There is also a major bug that may lead to erroneous and chaotic progress of War in Heaven. Besides these two bugs, winning War in Heaven wipes Awaken fallen empire out completely, which some players think it undesired.

The result really depends on your particular circumstance. If you're doing well, there's a good chance you can make it on your own, either as a singular empire or in the league of non-aligned powers. There's a good chance you'll become the leader if you're at the very top of relative power list.
I have only had one occurrence so far and I thought that it was brilliant. It made me think of the galaxy as the Holy Roman Empire during the 30 Years' War. The empire was divided into many small principalities, bishoprics, counties, etc. but the war also includes several large peripheral nations outside of the empire like France, Sweden, Denmark, etc. Participants had to choose sides (Protestant or Catholic) or try to remain neutral.
A flaw I noticed and that is up to your choice as a player :
I remained neutral. No Xenophilus, no Xenophobus, no alliance. When my Xenophilus of a neighbour was weakened enough, I took the easy prey. Meanwhile the unbidden showed up, and Xenophobus took on him to take them down. Without success. And without need, as they long ago stopped expanding (The Unbidden). So I got plenty of time to prepare and wipe the silly man, and got an easy win, as everyone else was ruined. So in this case the good strategy was to do nothing.
As said this is very situational, but if you want fun, pick a side.
