Stopping playing hurts them just as much as stopping paying, because on a F2P game, you are the main part of the content - you're the one the whales paying silly money get to shoot at. If you're not there....

No, you just do what some of have done, and stop playing. I think I've gone from playing a couple of hours at night to 1 game in 2 weeks...

Kamikaze R was given away the same as the ARP's.

Probably the other way around, kids have gone to bed and older players are still up sneaking some game time in - the population certainly seems far more mature when gaming in the early hours of the morning.

I haven't played any team battles, what do I get if I just take them all out one by one in randoms?

The people playing them are more experienced than they were when they started with the regular versions, and the stock grind hurts more than a zero point captain tbh.

I used to game on a 6870 with 4gb of RAM and an E3-1230v2. It did 60fps at 1080 with everything on high, maybe the cpu holding you back a little, or something else running.

It shouldn't be, for a game that's just picked up for the odd casual battle. Especially given I've already spent my money with them to get the credits in the first place - they already have my money, so it'd be nice if I can spend the credits where I want to. The UI driving me into spending them elsewhere doesn't actually give them anything, apart from a suspicious user base that's much less likely to keep credits in their account because they know they're likely to spend them where they didn't want to.

Is it just me or is everything on the UI designed to trick you into accidentally spending your in game credits/gold? You sell a ship and the automatic upgrade default is to use your gold to demount rather than just sell them with the ship (guess who hit that one yesterday), you hit retraining on a ship commander and enter to confirm and guess what the default was, no, not the free basic training, but the 500 gold instant retrain. Great, another 500 down the drain. I really don't want to have to be concentrating on every little trick the UI has up it's sleeve to deliberately trip me up when I've logged on for a quick game at 1:30am and I'm half asleep. I don't mind spending in-game credits, but I'd quite like it to be where I wish them to be, can we not have the default options be the free ones ?!
