Addictive game but there is way too much grind involved. Mine resources & lat, destroy swarms, eclipse, Borg etc. It's like they don't realise people have lives. You need to invest at least 1 hour a day in this game to progress daily. Re: pay to play, you can grind but there are plenty of players who have spent thousands to be untouchable. It creates a bullying culture in the game that Scopely don't seem to care about.
