Iw ant to buy the pro vesrion but the free one is too easy on every difficulty level.
i cannot spend money fast enough, always have 40thousand or morei nthe bank.
destroying xeno ships is far to easy, even the most basic tactics work.
i wish i felt like the wars between the factions did more, but it never really hrts the ecoonmy.
i'm playing on 'insane' now but still the tutorial level is wwaaaaay too simple.
i saw some peple posting that the game was hard but jeez, it was too easy before now waaaaay to easy.
please fix.

@newplayer - wow, that's pretty amazing! Welcome to the forum!
Can you share some of your empire secrets with how you've done so well so that other players can follow suit?

Hm whats the fartbest you've made it? Because I'm on crazy and it is definitely not easy. Also large scale combat trashes your economy, so color me curious.

@newplayer - if you are only playing the tutorial level, then you are facing the easiest aliens, AI, and conditions possible in Star Traders 4X Empires. If you're up for a bigger challenge, change levels!

Actually It's because you play the tutorial map that It's too easy, but there is a second map in the free version, try it and after I don't think you will say anymore that its too easy... |

@newplayer: Considering that I quit the Tutorial level 3 times (1 normal, 2 easy) and have a much easier time on a larger map, I'd also like to know how you go about it to make Insane difficulty appear too easy. Mind sharing some strategies?

So there would be 'easy', 'normal', 'hard' and 'are you f@#$ing kidding me' maps |

It's definitely a mixed bag -- I've gotten about 50/50 e-mails on this topic.
About half the people complain the game is way too easy, the other half complain it is way too hard.
Most of the ones saying way too hard are also saying "I have played strategy games for 10+ years" and none of the ones saying "it is too easy" claim to be "experts in 4X games"
It is very interesting. Based on the typos in the original post, I think I know which e-mail address it connects to.
I suspect the original poster has mastered early expansion, built a Mineral based economy, builds a low-maintenance fleet by mixing ship types.
At least, that's how I win games on Impossible or Insane. Maybe he or she has another strategy I'm not thinking of, and I sincerely hope they return (and buy Elite.)

Not sure where/how yet but sometimes there seem to be some sort of an ai issue.(maybe related to maps?) In these games the aliens are just about brain dead,completely lethargic and not expanding/fighting properly or even exploring anomalies or doing basic scouting.
Thankfully most of the games i played so far have displayed a decent AI and were challenging and fun.

saltin - are you playing the tutorial, because the AI there was significantly down-graded.
