The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of levels and the frequent interruptions from ads during challenges. Players express frustration over the lengthy wait times between missions and the randomness of mission selection, which hampers their ability to engage with the narrative effectively. Additionally, the system penalizes players for completing missions for different factions, complicating the overall experience.
“There are too many missions that you have to wait long periods of time because it's changing to fighting and you are strong enough to beat that ship.”
“You also can't search for missions you can do; you just have to be lucky to find them as you randomly look at systems.”
“You get punished for doing missions for factions that are different, and you can't specifically pick one at the start.”
