Amazing game! But, it is essentially pay to play.
nova empire is one of my favourite games, but it takes over a YEAR to fully upgrade your station, basically forcing you to pay money to upgrade or wait it out… for a year… If you would like you can get the lvl 6 station in a matter of minutes, as long as you have $500,000 like what most of the player base has. That is the reason I stopped play this game, because when you lose in a fight you keep on losing because if you deal the slightest bit of damage to another player they just pay $10 of speed boosts and materials to fix up their stations and fleets in a couple minutes. This is a game of GREAT potential but with poor execution. Maybe to fix the issue you could make it less pay to win and instead make money off of ads, how would you incorporate this? I don’t know, but it would be a heck lot better then this amazing game going to waste. Also, if you don’t play the game 12/7 you will never progress. This game is highly addictive due to the huge threat of other players exiling you from an alliance, targeting, etc. btw maybe you guys could make two versions of the game, this current pay to win one and a duplicate one with ads and it is not pay to win. But otherwise, this game is pay to play.
