Yep, fast advancement through the ranks! Yes. The advancement through combat, race and trade ranks is faster than the Boron Octopus Raider! In one day of play you can reach the highest standing with all the races, while in X3R it took me almost three weeks, 6 hours daily play to reach appropriate rank with the Argon to buy their Destroyer! (well, without using SETA, to be honest
) And those combat ranks... Ah... I started today as a Bankrupt Assassin and reached Master Chief in about... 15 minutes of play! Hell, I still have my Mamba and 0Cr on my account and I already have Pirate Bounty Hunter Centaurus and Osprey frying my ass... What the hell? Well, in every other aspect this game is great. I haven't yet encountered majority of bugs listed on this forum, not even FPS problems. The game runs smoothly and looks gorgeous. Now... We know what's the problem, now we need a cure...
