Do not play this game, it is 100x worse snake oil, then 'No Man Sky'. If you think No Man Sky was a scam, then this game is much worse, it is a pure money grab, huge pay2win, almost 0 balance.
Every update is made to make 2-3 month old tech obsolete and almost useless, average fleet build time(1 fleet) is around a month and half.
You need to constantly throw in 5h+ a day to grind most boring gameplay. There is no diversity, just plain hit 100-500 times that the X fleet and you have a chance to get something. Every MMORPG grinding is much more fun than this.
I used to play this game because it did not require 1-2h dungeon clearing time or 40min siege which you should not miss - as your teammates will suffer cause of that.

!!Starting to play this game was the biggest mistake I have made. In every other game I had some fun and nice gameplay, but here you start to feel sic at the first week still you QUIT.

Too money oriented

This review has some positives that are worth talking about, but for the most part I would not recommend this game.
The game is pay to progress, its incredibly difficult to gain ship/equipment via just playing the game with mechanical input. The way events are structured means that you need to participate with existing equipment otherwise its not possible to even deal damage.

The PVP aspect of this game is also very unbalanced, with it being mostly a rock,paper, scissor situation. Either that or its just abusing the level system. Either that or its a specific few ships are viable and the rest are essentially worthless for both PVP and PVE. Base attacking is also a boring and abusive system as well, high level ships can bascially outrange a bases defenses and just chip away at health until your base is dead.

Lack of cosmetics is something I never thought I would want, but seeing as how this game has potential for it and NOT having it was a let down. This game had potential but I assume that profits had to take priority over player enjoyment.

As for positives, it does a good job of a RTS and base building (IF those systems were balanced out it would feel so much more rewarding) . The lore is easy to follow though most players don't care for it as there is no reward or impact on the game. The art provided unique ship designs that I would like to see remade in future space games. Lastly, the music has aged well, there's a few songs that play while in battle, though again, many players don't care too much for it. This also isn't helped by having those same songs for years without adding any more. Perhaps one day there could be a revival or a successor for this game.

Thank you for your time, have a great day.
