Maréchal d'Empire

No comment on the things you brought up since I'm new and haven't run into those issues. The one blemish to the game's playability that I've run into is how players are essentially forced into clans if they want to participate in a big chunk of the content. I spent days farming resources and ships only to find that I need to be part of a clan in order to take a hostility mission or join a port battle. When I joined a single active hostility mission, the clan players already in the instance got all angry that I was there because it added an extra ship to the enemies. I hope they get rid of this clan-catering BS soon because it'll be better for player retention.
