Omicron Channel Virus that seeks to destroy everything.

A new competitor corporation called The Phanon Corporation.

It mainly targets late game when you may hit a wall where there's little else to do after you've amassed an armada of ships and have serious cash flow, but it does make serious changes throughout. It has a total of seven years of development history. The main mod I rely on is a game changer (quite literally) called Litcube's Universe. I usually roll with only a select few installed, mainly to affect the HUD, and a few other minor features. This means you can add new ships, features and make some core game mechanic alterations with awesome free content supported by the community. X3: ImmersionĪfter you've injected hundreds (if not thousands) of hours into the base game, Albion Prelude has full mod support. The only downside to this game is the time investment you'll need to find hours of free time in a day to make progress. It's an interesting mix of 4X, but in real-time, with first- and third-person cameras. Seriously, you can even command entire fleets of ships.

Come across an asteroid to scan and think it would be cool to set up a mining outpost? You can do just that.

It's down to you whether you wish to peruse justice, set up an economic empire, wage war against all factions, manipulate the stock markets, command capital ships, or simply haul cargo to and from to make some credits. These don't really do much but dictate what ship(s) you start with, as well as cash and other minor factors. Starting off, you have the choice of several profiles. Initially, the learning curve of X3 is a steep journey to traverse along, and this isn't helped by the UI, but once familiarized with keyboard shortcuts and more, you'll be firing through menus. There's a storyline you can choose to follow, but as soon as you're loaded into space, there are so many opportunities just calling out to you. X3 AP (with TC underneath) allows you to do pretty much whatever you want.
