With mods, specifically Xtended, the game is pure badass outside of that minor issue I previously mentioned. It's beautiful, although this happens at a couple fps if you're running anywhere near the recommended sys reqs. Unlike Freelancer, you can build up an armada with your own industrial power behind it and wipe out entire systems in glorious fleet on fleet battles with carriers, battleships, and hundreds of fighters. They have a simulated economy too, weapons are built at weapon factories, using components that come from other factories, built by raw materials mines from asteriods, with energy from solar panel stations being the juice that makes them all run. You can form flight wings, set groups on system patrols, set up mining bases on asteroids, buy factories, battleships, carriers, even obtain a space station for producing ships yourself, all without the use of mods. You can buy freighters and run them manually in that management system through orders, or you can pop a higher level trade computer in them and automate the bastards entirely with the click of a button. You have a property management system that lets you deploy ai pilots in multiple vessels. What's not like Freelancer at all is the system in which the campaign takes place. Eventually you win and are left with no more serious badguys to exterminate, still a lot like Freelancer. You go through the missions, trading and blowing up pirates to advance yourself, a lot like Freelancer still. There's new badguys popping up and nuking people out of nowhere, a generic badguy. You start out a lot like Freelancer, a pilot with a ship. Taking X3:Reunion's main plot as the starter. Since no one has explained it yet, details. In general, X3: Reunion is IMHO warmly recommended. And at one time I simply focused on other games.) (However, I wanted to make it on my own and started the game vanilla style. They included sth like a fast start, in which you can choose to be a trader who already has a decent amount of money.

But, honestly: It takes time! (In the new 'X3: terran conflict', which is independent of the other 'X3: Reunion' (more like an X4), you seem to be able to even hire marines and boarding parties, which then capture enemy vessels for you.) However, the main focus is on the galaxy wide economics which is in real time.įor X3:Reunion there is a pretty good fan mod (actually a finished playable mod!), which adds new sectors to explore and new missions, as well. Yes, you can have a huge fleet and start conquering if you feel like it. It takes time to actually have the money to sustain a fleet (You can even buy a whole star system at one time.). You start as a little tiny independent trader and go from there. Or if you get done with AP and are like these plots suck, I want more depth and challenge to my sandbox empire then try out Litcube's Universe mod.However, you need time. I would suggest playing AP, and when you 'get done' (X3 games never really end, you just sort of run out of things to do) if you're like hey, I'd really like some more of them plots - then play TC or play the TC plots in AP mod. Both plots are long, the AP plots give you a few more toys, but nothing earth shattering. But the random Kha'ak in TC can do the same thing. The conflicted sectors in AP can slightly complicate your economic empire. So IMO, it's really a tradeoff of whether you play TC or AP.

Later on, ES released an update that added more plots wth a few new rewards, and at that point the AP plots where pretty much as long as the TC plots, but doing all of them would give you a few more toys than TC did. It used to be - back shortly after AP was released - that the AP plots were much shorter than the TC plots, but had the same big rewards. The TC in AP mod does not enable you to play both story lines in one game. TC plots in AP is the original TC plots, but with the AP UI tweaks, added ships, added mission types, and a Universe map that is a hybrid between TC and AP. There are some minor changes to the Universe map. There are some minor UI enhancements in AP.
