Before you play

Things to consider

  • The cash shop and lockbox/lootbox systems for rare ships and items have drawn criticism typical of many free-to-play space MMOs.
  • Ground combat and animations are considered weaker than the game's space combat, which is its main draw.
  • Endgame content and ship progression can require significant grinding or spending to fully optimize.
  • The game's aging engine limits visual fidelity compared to newer space or sci-fi titles.
  • A large amount of accumulated content (over a decade of episodes) can be confusing for new players to navigate in order.
