      There’s base building, frigate and fleet management, and better dog fighting and battles. There’s also more guns and mechs and vehicles/more sentinel types to fight. The variety is there but the game is still all about what you make of it in your time playing.

      It’s a money grinding sim for sure. They’ve added a LOT of content but a bunch of it is gated behind their “expeditions” mechanic. I always get discouraged when I log on and see how much stuff I missed and just can’t get because I didn’t log on between x and y dates. Even the things you can buy if you missed an expedition have their own monetary system where you’re limited by missions which are occasionally still bugged to hell.
