Among the better fleet command type games

Very well done. Battles are interactive, ships are customizable, weapons and ships seem balanced, but most importantly are the extremely reasonable repair times.

Often times when I play these kinds of game, if your ships are destroyed in battle, especially the larger and more powerful ones, you have to wait days, maybe even weeks for them to be repaired and have to pay a premium to repair them faster. But in this game, it seems that no matter what fleet you lost, it will be repaired within the same day. That alone gives this game a good rating from me.

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 isnโ€™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 wonโ€™t spend anymore until this is fixed.
