It would seem so far that over time, "power" tends to take nearly geometric effort to progress. (Power being person's capabilities, skills, ships, etc). Since skills training takes so much more time later for the same marginal benefit, and marginal more useful items cost TONS more, it would seem that there is a leveling effect after a certain point in time.
I guess this keeps people who have been there a while from simply dominating due to amount of time there. But also means that time/etc invested into the game have rapidly decreasing rates of return.
Just an observation, no real point.
