@ Linda, I realize you don't get anything extra from the power attacks, except that with them the amount of damage you give/get reduces, thereby taking less stamina and health to defeat a boss. This is evident in the lower level bosses when it takes say 10 attacks to defeat the boss without having to re-health.
As far as "being stronger" at my level, I have spent literally hundreds of REAL dollars to build. I believe I have used those dollars wisely in regards to building my strength. A player can only build stamina/health and energy by leveling. Again, I believe I have built each of these in a balanced fashion. I have used my fp to buy the strongest ships/mateys/weapons that I can find. If there is some other way of "being stronger" at my level, then please tell me how!
At this point I am only 54 clan short of the 2000 max, having again spent my bucks on the max "hired captains" allowed in the game, and aside from helping in battles with other players, that doesn't affect regular game play.
