This game was a little more than great for me at first. I started playing online in the spring of 2015. And I also managed to catch the golden times of the original, old Vega. When there was no all that damn bullshit cat crap that was added to it later. And it still stinks to this day. Back then there wasn’t so much shit farming in it, there wasn’t an ocean of shit crafting, which has now turned into a goal in itself. I saw times when players played more in space war than in shit farm, as most people do now, except for donors, tops and veterans (who have been playing from the very beginning and have spent a huge number of hours playing the game).
I also found the magnificent, already legendary sector 2600, perhaps the only one in the game, a sector “captured by Russian-speaking clans”, and held as such until the last, perhaps, until it was completely liquidated.
I saw a real riot, not an illusory one (in the form of a game event). That was all there was to it. Well, in sector 2600, it was the Russian-speaking clans that rebelled against the lawlessness perpetrated by a bunch of local Russophobic clans, headed by the most Russophobes in all of Vega, the DR2, SCRG, HUN clans and those who joined them, some players from DF26, as well as players from UKR who were slightly waving at them.
In fact, before my eyes, an internecine inter-clan war began and came to naught between the clans Vodka and RusLegion (5 stars)..
And I also saw everything that happened to the game then - its transformation from more no less balanced in terms of PvP/PvE ratio, transforming it into the fiercest uber PvE shit farm.
So, my reputation:
This game is not a strategy at the moment, but a brutal shit farm. Nevertheless, there is many times more strategicity in it than in a thuja heap of similar slag.
The combat mechanics are the best in this genre, and at the moment an unattainable standard.
The same goes for the possibilities of configuring spaceships, the vastness of options and configuring fleets.
Bottom line: this game is the best in this genre, it is a standard. In fact, this is "Eve online", in this genre. And the very low rating is because of what it was turned into, compared to the original game.
