UPDATE. I fell asleep and my shield expired. A player attacked my base over NINETY NINE TIMES and stole tens of millions of Tritanium that took me months to acquire. Uninstalled the game and never touching again. Once you hit a certain spot it's IMPOSSIBLE to play without moving to pay to play. I'm not going to spend countless hundreds of dollars to upgrade my ships and bases just to continue to play this game. Avoid at all costs unless you're willing to literally pay to play.
