Description:

The story of X3 is set in the X-Universe, a couple of sectors connected by jumpgates, built by an ancient alien civilization. The game is an open-ended space simulation game. It's best described as: Think, Trade, Build, Fight. Players can join the dynamically changing economy system of the game by buildng their own stations and sending their own traders. Every action the player does have an effect on his surroundings, for example: pirating too much freighters can cause higher prices over the unvierse and even massive economical collapse, placing patrols near important gates can reduce hostile activity. Unlike in most of the space simulation games, in this game the player can control huge capital ships too.
