So I just came back from a long break from AstroGame

I notice that there is no more instant build light fighters, Cargos, or Probes. It now take 1 second which in any other game would not matter as much but here where you need to build fleets of millions. How can a non paying player ever get ahead if the developers add the only thing that could help you need to but dark matter.

Can someone please explain if I am correct or maybe I am missing something I don't see.

You must build a Mass Production Ramp.

SO that means you need to pay money to make game playable. well that sucks its not as before since non paying players cannot play without spending money or will need to wait 40ish days to build it with the free DM you give daily.

Sucks that a good game like this got greedy.

No, you are wrong. You can collect about 3m of dark matter per month.

Daily activity bonus,
Daily Vote bonus
Monthly vote bonus
and with the dark matter collector ship.

In addition, we do special events. There was a dark matter event last week. In this event, you can collect 4 times more dark matter than normal time.

On the other hand, we give gifts of dark matter on special days.
