The MTX's are WAY overpriced for what you get. Like others have said, you make a purchase and most lower price options disappear. MTX is ok if done in moderation. There is nothing moderate about the MTX model in this game. Progress is excruciatingly slow unless you spend large amounts of money. Make no mistake, this is a PvP game (unless you stay below level 15). You will be attacked by players you have absolutely no chance against. They have spent hundreds, even thousands, of dollars on their account. The very definition of Pay 2 Win. If you are mining and get attacked by someone higher level, you're dead, no chance of escape. Sometimes losing hours of mining. You let your base shield fall, you will get raided. You will lose resources. Mission progression is terrible in this game. I have several missions in my log that can't be finished simply because I can't get to the final objective. Note to quest writers: Don't allow someone to accept missions grotesquely above their level, or at the very least put a warning letting the player know they are too low to complete the objectives. This is extremely frustrating. This game has very little to do with Star Trek. Sure it has the assets and imagery, but none of it's spirit. Scopely, you got some of my money, enjoy it. You wont get anymore.
