This is one nice game. This is how it went down for me in terms of time.
Start off not knowing how to play /0-20mins
paid off loan / 1hr
becomes merchant and does quests/ 4hrs
becomes a pirate and gets a heavy warship/ 3hrs

while the game is simple, it is real fun trying to get the next upgrade or the new ship for your fleet. What you spend is what you get when selling any of your ships. an example using random numbers, buys a fighter for 660,000 and later sells it for 660,000 stock. Overall i would recomend this to anyone that enjoys arcade style games.
