(Disclaimer - Game was originally won via Steamgifts from before the game went F2P)

-Poor account security. Passwords aren't encrypted in the games servers, and a recovery request gets them sent back to you in plain text. By far, this is the weakest form of account security that a multiplayer-mmo could have. (Update - SS of what you get when you put in a recovery request. No confirmation required, not even a simple security question. Just them pulling user info from what is, from the devs own admission a unencrypted user database and sending it right out - http://i.imgur.com/C9U2Rdq.png )

-Smatterings of untranslated text. The account recovery screen for one has been left in Russian, while most other account pages have been translated.

-Race selection. One of the race descriptions completely overshot the description screen. so you're unable to read a segment of it.

-Ship selection. The ship selection screen has a section where you can see your ship, yet quite a few ships clip through the screen. That said, the ships themselves are beautifully designed, as are the character cards. That said, the ship descriptions are spotty, having been translated to English but not properly localized. (Case in point, housing durability? What? Oh, HULL durability.)

-Micro-transactions. This game has em, despite the games kickstarter and official reviews saying that the game wouldn't have em.

-Extremely, EXTREMELY, variable pricing. The game launched at $5, a month ago with a small discount to 4.49. The games price was then jacked up to $10 on the 18th - Two weeks after launching. The game was then dropped down to $5 two days later on the 20th. And THEN (Yes, it continues...) the games price was set to $1 (Note - The game DIDN'T get a discount set, the games base price itself was lowered) on the 28th. (See last point for another bit about 'variable pricing'

And now we come to this month. The games price was jacked up to $15 on the 2nd. (Price history available here - https://steamdb.info/app/368750/)

Also, see my disclaimer? About getting this at Steamgifts? Yeah. The dev has been putting up quite a few copies - my guess, in hopes of getting positive reviews and to try and get more players - of this game their in recent weeks. (Just today he'd put up 129 copies)

Speaking of players, the game had lost quite a few of them which is what lead to the giveaway flood. The game topped out at 3600 owners on the 2nd, and by the 8th the owner count fell down to 2460 (Losing almost 1200 owners). Oddly enough, that tanking happened right after the games base price rose from $1 to $15, so I guess many people thought something looked very off about that drastic a price jump. (Owner stats available here - https://steamdb.info/app/368750/graphs/)

-Incoming bundle flood. The Dev stated that 25k keys were given out to various bundlers and game websites. One month after release, and everyone and their grandmother will be bundling it.

UPD - Flood is mostly over, for what good it did. Stillborn from the start, the game topped out at 19 players in the past week. The dev was a bit quick to make such a big deal about the game hitting just under 1k players after their little bundle flood, since he'd confused card idlers with actual players.

-Extremely overstating given reviews. From what the dev said about the PCGamer review, you'd THINK that they called this one of the 'best games in 2016'... But they didn't.

-Available for Free elsewhere. Yeah. Facebook and Android.

Honestly? Just wait for the bundles to be released. Or take advantage of one of the free EA versions.

And after 'consulting the fans', the game has went F2P. I don't see why the Devs are making such a big hoopla about going F2P when the game was advertised as a F2P game in the first place. I guess you could tack this on under the variable pricing as well.

...Speaking of the F2P update, this doesn't exactly bode well for the 'cash shop' that many of this games official reviews say the game doesn't have. Supposed to have been removed two updates ago, as STATED by the dev, all we've gotten since then was a mention that it'll be 'updated next patch' and that next patch has just come out with... no mention of it, at all.
