Market Place Notifications

Every 5 mins, whether there is a new deal or not, the in-game $$ shop will have a notification marker.

Sometimes there isn’t even a deal, and it will still keep notifying you, and the little symbol will just stay there.

As someone who likes to keep their notifications clear, this is soooooo annoying.

Yes, I have probably spent like $8 in my month of playing. No, I won’t spend anymore until this is fixed.

Impossible to play without speeding money

When you start the game the ships you are given are so bad u can’t even fight lowest level enemy’s they will give u some materials to build weapons but its no where near enough u can’t even grind because of the level difference to have fun with this game u have to spend money to progress

So far so good

I’ve been playing this game for a little while now and so far I’m thoroughly enjoying it, I love the fleet building and ship customization, on top of that there doesn’t seem to be any paywalls, and whatever ships are destroyed you don’t lose, you just have to wait for them to be repaired, which I like a lot, especially after playing games like nova empire where you can spend months building a strong fleet then lose it all in an instant

Very well done, 5 stars
