How it feels
You design and watch pre-planned fleet formations clash in automated space combat, focusing on setup rather than real-time control.

What players say
Players focus entirely on fleet design before battles, with no real-time commands. Long-time players report the game is unplayable because server-based CD key validation no longer works.
