Edit: They've fixed prior problems, and have made the game enjoyable again.




I'll start off by saying I USED to love this game, and put some serious time into it (for not being a gamer). Everything about capitol ship battling is just awesome, and the dev-team did a great job in creating a vast array of ships to choose from that made gameplay interesting and not boring. The capture the flag, mixed with teamwork, and PvP ship to ship always kept me coming back; and as a founder I was proud to have helped monetarily.

But, unfortunately, that's where the pros end...

With the last reset (final?) I lost everything I'd acquired. Now to diehard gamers that's a given. There's an Alpha then a Beta, and that's that - what's the big deal? Well, the big deal for me is I can't grind through the game again to reacquire what I already painstakingly put time into getting. I don't have the 100+ hours to put into this game so I'd be on an even footing again, and that's not right in my book. Don't punish the casual player, and especially not someone who paid for the original access - helping this game develop more. I'd be fine if my experience and money was set to zero, I'd totally have no problem with that. But taking every single ship I EARNED, every upgrade I EARNED, and resetting it... that's just unacceptable. Also, with the reset the game has become completely unplayable. There's no longer a server screen to select matches from, now it's just your name, some slots, and the "to join" button. Then the waiting, and waiting, and waiting. Everytime! I've waited for ten minutes once, and nothing, yet there are 144 people in game - how's that work? And on the odd chance I did connect to a game/server I'd never get to the actual match; just a countdown and noises of being at the starting portal.

It's been a couple of months since the reset and I have yet to join a match, and it's infuriating to have a computer that works properly, and a fine internet connection, but a game that's totally gone to pot. And it's ashame it has, because it was my go-to for the good part of a year.

But now I know not to buy a game that's in Alpha, unless I'm willing to grind everytime it's reset. You live, you learn I suppose?

Though it does get repetitive in both animation and fleet battles. It's an all around fun game to play and try to master on multipul levels. I look forward to more updates and downloadable content.
