Ships have turned into a nightmare....

Also, it’s not even a coin flip because the opposing ship goes first way more often than you do.

I can no longer get my first place fleet payout, unless I ask the payout before me to alter their fleet. CG, you guys are fn stupid and deserve every bit of negative anything that happens to you. I'm glad more people are turning away from spending. You people will either learn your lesson or become unemployed because we won't buy your in game stuff. You treat the community bad, you get it returned. 

I don't know WHAT THE HELL is goin on right now with these developers. You make such a great decision with the "new player experience" only to totally take a dump on the whole dang thing. Outside of Kyber, GAC has turned into the biggest unfun pile of utter trash that's basically unplayable 80% of the time. Ooo, in chromium with 4-6mil gp? We'll have fun beating your head against 8-12 mil gp players that keep signing up and not playing to purposely fall into your bracket. It's the absolute worst pile of garbage game mode now. Then let's blow up ships with a stupid pile of idiocy called the punishing one. Followed by just randomly removing assault battles that people have been farming toward for months-yr+. WTF, trying to convince myself to keep playing at this point is really tough. I finally spent a little money for the first time in a couple months on the BH bundle, but I'm in no way motivated to spend on anything else for a while til I see some major change of direction from the one we are on at the moment, and if it just continues and becomes the steady norm, I'm just gonna cut my losses and find other things to do with my free time.
