Nope, you will be able to play it multiplayer as well. In an extremely "why wasn't this done before" move, each side will split the tasks between the players so that the simultaneous turns are moving at a decent pace - so there's one person responsible for fleet movements, another for research, another for designing ships, another for refits and logistics, and so on. Then, when a tactical battle occurs you just split the ships into squadrons as you see fit.
