the cost of this game versus enjoyment is getting to be a joke. The cost of a full fleet of NCs is over$250to also refit or build turrets etc is even more not to mention repairs and fighting.. With the big alliances out there I really find it hard to believe people are spending thousands of dollars a month to play a digital game. I believe players are not spending hundreds of dollars a month. I believe there are far more hackers than kixeye is aware if or refuses to find. And them as a company coupled with hacking if a flash game is ruining it for the honest gamer. I don't fault hackers because if the insane repair times as well as build times/refits. There are far better quality games out there for a lot less. The raids and builds are really getting out of hand and does nothing but leave a bad taste in my mouth.
