Enjoyed game up to level 28... – Second Galaxy Review

Ok. I spent close to $100 on gift, daily, and weekly bundle packs. I was starting to really enjoy the game. Then I reached level 28.... At level 28, I started getting attacked, during Ops, by other players. The Ops restricted what ships I was allowed to leave the base with—and the other player attacked me with a stronger ship. Naturally, my ship was destroyed. I went out on a scan op, I was just floating in space, so tried going back to my base, but it wouldn’t go. Then the attackers came at me, I tried fighting back, but again was destroyed. You have an option to re-activate your ship, but this costs Iridium to purchase a contract, and this eventually gets back to in game purchases (regular money). ... I had to do more research, online, to discover this, but one of the earlier main Ops requires you to relocate your forces to another location. Basically, you start out—probably in a high security (safe) system—and then are encouraged to move to a low security (unsafe) system. The worst is “lawless”, but in a low security system you can be attacked by other players (with more powerful ships). If you don’t have a contract to re-activate your ship, it’s lost. Since this will likely happen, early on, just when you’re just starting to get a feel for the game and gain some strength, you can easily wonder why you should even continue with the game. I’ve moved to a high security system and intend on staying there—if I can—and recommend the same for other players.
