Game is designed to take your money, with lots of toxic players that runs amok in the chats. It keep pushing out new PAY TO WIN ships and times, so that what you just spend money on few months ago get nerfed and became obsolete quickly.
Using free ships you will find it painful with a strings of long losses, as you are running a ship out of cardboard....
Good luck trying to have fun without paying to win. Wish I can give it negative stars rating!
