I'm currently hovering on the 45-50 spot on the leaderboard by points no thanks to a group of pirates who ambushed some of my best ships.
Planet Corvus, the planet of the living dead where harsh heat makes it near impossible for most life to thrive at 49 to 89 degress Celsius because it's uncool (badum tss). The life forms that inhabit this planet are still carbon based humanoid life forms but with minimal water content and a thick reflective exoskeleton against cosmic radiation. The inhabitants that are capable of space travel have partially embraced bionic enhancements through abandoning the fragile chitinous armor and soft inner flesh in favor of silicon and metal based parts. The inhabitants of this world are transitioning from living to undead through mechanization, fitting for the moniker corpse planet.
I played the steemnova version a few years back and recalled how much sleep I lost just fleet saving and doing other tactical gimmicks. It's nostalgic and just feels like I'm playing the early phases of the game which was something I never got to do from the old game due to most players have already reached their end game bases.
We're not at the fun part yet. There's no intense battle fortress and coordinated attacks happening which makes me look forward to the next couple of weeks into the game. It's a peaceful universe for now.
What I love about this game is how it includes the blcokchain part without stressing over how much money people can make for their play time. I mean, people lose their shit over small cents over games that would probably not net them any ROI for years. But this one is free and everyone has a relatively decent chance to succeed if they put in the work.
Thanks for your time.
