A space casual grand strategy game, you can spend thousands of hours on this game and still not have everything you want so theres always something to work towards

Pros:
Casual or competitive choice
Clear progression and upgrades
Clan/group cooperation
Exciting PVP
Permenant Upgrades (tech points)
Cons:
Long timescale for upgrades later game (20Hrs+)
Pay to win - If a player spends over $5000 they will have a decent advantage in a 1v1 fight due to purchasing tech points, however you can gain tech points just by logging in every day and getting a crate and you can catch up to big spenders through time
Lag - servers often lag which can be frustrating but can be worked around

Advice: If playing this game, i'd recommend spending $30 a month for the best value: Every day purchase $1 top-up, this gives you 60 coins + 60 free coins once per day, also make sure you have the 320% investment agreement up 24/7, this will give you over 5000 coins per month to play with for just $30 (RRP $80)
Also buy the partnership at the start of the server as its cheap and gives you ALOT of free crates/coins
If you want, purchase the 10tp packages, they can only be purchased once and are very worth it

This game is, in its current state:
Simply Broken.

If you want to play on your own, dont.
Just about every other player out there is in a group and this game is purely about numbers, doesnt matter how skilled you are when theres 8 guys with assault rifles constantly attacking you and all you have to defend yourself is a bow because you cant grind the materials to make anything better.

Cheaters:
Cheaters are everywhere, on every server (especially official servers) whether its just a crosshair overlay or turning up gamma to see at night or using autohotkey to reduce recoil or straight up aimlock and seeing through walls and even flying, the cheat prevention in this game is dreadful and the developers are incapable of admitting failure and insist on using a failing easy anti cheat system rather than switching to something which is proven to be better such as battleye.

Gunfights:
RNG (mostly), The developers have been moving towards a more rng style of battle, where one can simply spray and pray and hope for the best - removing the skill element, thus making the numbers game even more prolific, the bigger servers have clans of 20+ people all running around with top level gear and just dominating everyone else because there is simply nothing others can do about it, not to mention these clan probably have a few cheaters in their midst just incase a guy gets lucky and takes a load of them out.

And thats just the top of it, remove the massive groups and cheaters and you are still left with broken balance of guns, loot, building and raiding, grinding for hours with nothing to do, there is little to no pve elements to engage in, this game is a survival game but apart from PvP theres little to no survial about it, theres no threat other than players.
