not the Battle Star we all remember, or hoped for
The game is fun, for a short while until you realize that the players who are hooked on it have claimed it for themselves,and treat newcomers like a deadly plague and its not unnatural to see a level 8-10 player trying to mine an asteroid and being ganked by a level 100+ player just making sure he doesn't get anything. Not to claim it himself, which happens all the time, since every old player has an alt on both sides, but just to keep someone new from getting ahead, even a little.
They'll ask you to join their groups...better do it if you plan on surviving since they will call on open coms many times and report right where you are and what your doing to make a buck, and there are groups that fly as wings doing nothing but attacking 'enemies' that are trying to be independent players, but aren't allowed to be. The player base all...what? A few hundred maybe a couple thousand tops? Acts like this is their personal game, they own it, and thats how they treat everyone new, so dont expect any help unless you beg for a spot in their group, because new people with solo ambitions aren't wanted.
Seeing the total disrespect for the original show and storyline, and the massive incompetence of the company to try and fix it, makes the game not worthy of the name it carries. Add to that a toxic player base and tada! dead game waiting to be buried as deep as possible,and unless those few players buy constantly at the in game store, it cant last much longer.
