The community is honestly one of the most toxic I have ever seen in any MMO. CSGO Silver matchmaking has a better community. Dota 2 has a better community. LoL has a better community. The game is alright, but the community honestly ruins it and it genuinely is the reason I wrote this review and cannot recommend the game.

I just paid 40 **** bucks for this game. Upon installing and logging in for the first time I was immediately banned for gold selling before I even got to play the game. I don't even know what gold selling is.

Four years. A million dollars and a complete development team. Four ing years, a million ing dollars and a complete godamn development team and the result is a mediocre edge of space clone that runs like crap. The game had a lot of promise, but the developers got so much money from pre-orders and early adopters they overdosed on hookers and cocaine and forgot they were supposed to make a game after taking the money. Long periods of inactivity combined with procrastination led to disjointed updates and developers so utterly disconnected from the community that the majority of old time players who gave a about the game left and only the fanboys remained. The game started out with an intresting premise. Multiple differenct races each of them explore space for its own reason with its own goals, it's own allied and enemy races creating conflict and generating and truly living breathing world, its own tech and it's own special abilities, exploring to find the reason why they left their planet in the first place. You could be a pirate, a researcher, a space bandit fighting for your own cause beacuse your own reasons. Sounds intresting no? Well, what we got now is everyone is happy, everyone is united, no conflict, part of a united federation type deal, and your character is the newest graduate out to save the world with the other graduates from cthulu who hates all live and wants to see it gone because it gives an evil boner or whatever. (ORIGINAL PLOT ALERT, DO NOT STEAL). How do you save the world from cthulu? Do 5 incredibly drawn out, tedious fetch quests, 5 nonsensical dungeons and then you fight the boss. All races are the exact same with the only differences being cosmetic. (As opposed to earlier versions where you had unique armors with abilities and special weapons) Since beta from more than half the special abilities or techs (like nullifying gravity, flying, teleporting, FTL dashing, mechs ect) got completely removed , a massive ammount of custom/unique racial weapons in the game got gutted for no reason at all, the game went back to use a terrible "Damage on contact" combat system and the racial armors turned from unique special sets with different abilities to 12 different reskins of the exact same item, and ontop of that all, all the unique racial AI was removed in favour of everyone using the human one! WHY!? Also, in the 4 years that it has been out the devs never gave a to properly optimize it so it'll run at more than 10 frames per second on high end gaming PCs. But all that could have been easily excused. IF THE GAME WASN'T IN THE GAME FOR 4 GODAMN YEARS WITH A BUDGET OF OVER ONE MILLION DOLLARS! Honestly, I cannot in all honesty give this game a positive review, because it does not deserve a positive review. The developers took people's money, develivered a product that's even remotely close to what they promisd and took 4 years to do it. It's a mediocre game in a sea of mediocrity.

There are SO many things wrong with this game, I can't fit all the problems in 5000 words sadly (Trust me I tried). So, I'll just be short: *No balance *No content *Pay2Win (You can litteraly pay money in exchange for direct bonus damage, energy and speed) *Developers cutting away content for no reason. *Developers removing free content people grinded for to sell it back to us for real money. *Developers censoring critisism. *No optimization. *Insanely **** servers. *Developers completely ignore feedback they ask for. *Developers remove fun parts of the game that have no effect in balance. I could keep going on and providing detail on each one of those, but honestly, there's no room.

20€ for the base game (open your heart). 150€ for all the dlc (open your wallet) ∞€ for pay to win micro-transactions (open your ass) EA isn't looking so bad now is it?
