Starts ok with reasonable mission times,but after a certain level all missions are at least an hour to complete and only give keys and EXP but no gold (a main resource to upgrade ships) and with only up to 8 dispatchers (Captains,which you have to gem pay for if you want more than 4) you definitely have to buy the gems to speed missions,or the gold and parts to upgrade ships. On that note it's WAY overpriced for the gems you get. Oh well maybe another tycoon game will be better.
