Can the game be fully enjoyed without ever having to spend a ‘penny’?

'Yes' adds 10%

If you like uneventful PVE with point and click combat that lacks no strategy, then you’ll find plenty of enjoyment in the game. The main fun from the game is through PVP which takes a while to level up high enough to access. Once you reach the higher zones the players that have played for years will absolutely decimate new players and it takes a ridiculously long time to upgrade your ship. Therefore, paying players will be able to get ahead quicker and keep up with veterans if they wanted to.
