I have to ask, is the game worth getting? I've been on the sidelines watching it evolve and despite numerous reviews and such, I still can't find a definitive answer. Some say is sucks

There is NO shortcut for the training time. You are looking at 5 months of flipping skills to either have competitive battleship skills or be in a useful T2 hull, with a useful level of support skills -> unless you want your contribution to a fleet fight to usually just be putting a point of scramble on someone (yawn).

A lot of people join up all excited, then can't use the energy to catch up in any sort of way, as the training times are absolute.

I recently restarted my 6 month old character, but I keep seeing all the reasons I quit first time round. In nearly a month of ongoing play since restarting, I have nearly finished 1 skill, and I have 3 other 16-40 day long trains that cockblock progress on the character.

You can't resolve the generalisation requirement (by making lots of specialists), unless you have 1 account per specialist, as you are only allowed to train 1 character per account.
