So, I enjoy the game, but these ship battles are beginning to become a little much.

I mean I fly somewhere destroy a s*** ton of ships and then the mission reads...

"Destroy the leftover fleets" which is like another 30 ships.
I mean come on.

So does anyone know if this dies down a little bit further into the game?
Or am I just stuck flying around space, swearing at my computer the whole time.

Can anyone let me know?

I played a mission last night that was very similar to what you are describing. It is a bit too much. Not sure if it dies down further into the game. I guess the more we play, the more we will find out.

there are supposed to be huge scale battles and raids later on ... but .. not sure how it will play out

the future will tell, and i hope the nearer future

I certainly hope so.

Because if thats the way it is going to be the whole game, its really going to turn me off to it.
I dont wanna spend 15 bucks a month getting ****ed at the controls and the way the ship battles play out.

Lets hope it gets better.

i hope so too, i just dont want to be an admiral assigned to "patrol this sector" duties i understand it at a lower level but higher ranks should have more important missions that arent just" fly here and Kill the intire Klingon 3rd fleet by yourself"
