It can be difficult at first, but you get used to it pretty quickly. You’ll also need to protect your stations using your own ships or by purchasing weapon platforms, as losing a station can be a hard blow on your cash as you won’t see the money returned to you if that does happen. You’ll need to mange the stations properly, and give them the proper resources to create goods (again which is best using freighters to import/export goods.). You’ll find out you can actually purchase stations ranging from headquarters to resource generating stations. Normally you will start off doing simple missions until you can get a few freighters to haul around trading goods for cash, or enough to be able to take on larger combat missions.Įventually you’ll end up with a large fleet and you’ll begin to wonder what else you can do in the game. There are SEVERAL ships and weapons, well more then you’ll ever get in the game, which is great because it brings alot of choices to pick from. Deciding what weapons and equipment to put on your ships also effect the outcome of your battles, you can go for something that breaks through larger ships more, or something more for fighter combat/defense. You can also have more then one ship of course, which means you’ll slowly build up a fleet, then a empire of ships, if everything goes well. You can purchase ships ranging from ‘scout fighters’ all the way up to ‘large carriers’ which is very fun on it’s own, simply because most other games similar to this only allow the purchase only fighters. The game vastly accelerates as a sandbox mode game, (as in a ‘do what you want’ type game rather then ‘follow this story’). Overall though you get used to it though, and it’s gone as fast as it came due to the short storyline. The voices in the game for the storyline and a few other things are so pathetic, to the point where I’m bursting out laughing. Again, as stated above, the storyline is lacking and it’s often repetitive. The storyline is really only there to unlock special areas and ships/weapons, but otherwise serves no purpose. It starts off like any game, you have a small ship with basic weapons, and you need to grow and become powerful. The game is hard to learn at first, mainly due to there being so many features in the actual game and not enough tutorial lessons. There is a ton of eye candy in this game. Everything was very detailed, from the ships, to the planets, and simply the space around you. The first thing I saw with X3: Terran Conflict are the graphics the game is simply beautiful and stunning.

It’s a pretty interesting game, not for the storyline, but more for the sandbox gameplay. I’ve had the above game for quite some time now, but I haven’t actually played it until recently. Been awhile since my last post, so here we go.
