You bought with a disclaimer saying that it might barely work. It does work, they met their end of the deal so long as they continue to patch the game.
When you started putting hours into the game, you should have kept in mind the volatility of the game in what is essentially a beta state. We lost 3 ships already, building the 4th. Ghost ships were a bug, but that's to be expected.
Solution is for the game industry to move away from releasing unfinished games, but that will not happen because everyone buys them.
