They fine, suspend, or ban your account if you are not playing in a way that they approve of. Their only response is usually draconian. They reinterpret the Terms of Service arbitrarily and do much to prevent players from using valid tactics in the game if they just happen to not like them. They have a forum for players to post suggestions, and most of my suggestion have been posted by others. There is no shared intelligence, no ability to organize fleets (other than on the individual level), no ability to coordinate just about anything. Guilds often negotiate treaties, however, there is no in game support for these treaties other than the honor system. There is absolutely no serious guild support.
You can join a guild and be identified by it, you have a guild board where you can converse privately out of the ear shot of enemies, but that's it. However, for a largely text based game, most of these improvements are simply that, improvements, but not worth calling content. I'll be the first to admit, I like eye candy. Mostly, they have spent their time on 3D models (which the dev team confirmed have no purpose in the game other than artwork) and artwork based on those models. They have introduced many new languages that Astro Empires now supports (which is over all a good thing for expanding your user base). Additionally, they have revised the rules for fleet detection. (And I hear from even longer term players, that they haven't seen significant development since they've been playing.) In the time that I've been playing, the dev team has introduced a revized production page to allow the production of fleet at all your bases from a common unified interface. In the time I have been playing, there has been no significant development in over a year. Astro Empires is plagued with two principle customer service problems: 1. The answer is deceptively simple: lack of customer support. With all this praise, you may wonder "Why do I say Astro Empires fails to live up to it's promise?" That would be a fair question. The overall structure of the game is simple and rugged.you won't be observing crashes often if at all. It has an addictively simple style of play that makes it easy to pick up and learn, even for the most inexperienced novice. The general concept and primise of the game is sound. I have been playing Astro Empires for well over a year now.
As I am presently unable to review (rank too low) I will instead spin my tale here.
