This game has so many bugs and issues I think it was coded by a bunch of 5 year olds. You tell your fleet to stop moving and attack another fleet does it do it nope keeps moving to its 1st task. AI fleets take a blink of eye to travel while yours takes 60 seconds so chasing down enemy fleet can't do that. AI in defense packs are no help they will have a fleet and do nothing with while they themselves get wreck.
This is just to name a few.
I will say this game could be so much better if those who made it opened their eyes, ears and got off their lazy dairy airs to fix issues but hey why should they they already got our money so they don't give a rats arse.
