Avoid this expensive time-waster. I played STFC for about a 18 months. Although I averaged $50/ month in very efficient purchases & played daily ALL DAY I was dwarfed by most other players and there was no chance to keep up. They add content but don't make previous content less of a grind. The whole experience is an expensive grind and in the end, whoever pays the most ($thouaands) will win. Those players roam around killing indiscriminately and unless you play daily, your resources are raided.
