Among these factories is a silicon mine and a crystal fab. Let's say you have a sector that has a half dozen factories producing all kinds of wares. The entire trade/build aspect of X revolves around the most basic of economic conepts: Supply & Demand. Now, if you want to look at things from a technical standpoint, you can 'control' any sector you wish. Reputation is gained by completeing missions, killing pirates/xenon/khaak or each race's rival race, and buying/selling wares to their stations. Your reputation with the various races will determine whether they are hostile towards you and your property, whether you can dock at their stations, the quality of missions offered to you, and what ships/stations/wares you can purchase from stations in their territory.

There are mods however that will let you, usually by wiping out all pre-existing stations and building your own. You're sitting at the helm of a massive Carrier leading a fleet, launching dozens upon dozens of fighters towards the enemy, while halfway across the universe your massive complexes of linked stations churn out various wares and equipment to fund and equip your personal armada.Īside from the sector that is 'awarded' to the player at the conclusion of the New Home plot, you cannot gain control of any territory in the vanilla game. You're no longer the single pilot flying a light fighter. As your personal assets increase, your power grows. As you play you amass personal wealth, resources, assets, ships, stations, reputation.

You start as a penniless pilot in a simple ship. I think a better definition for what you, the pilot, does is run a company. When pilots use 'empire' to describe what you do in the X Universe, they aren't describing a player-controlled political body that oversees a population and directs their efforts (like in an RTS/simcity/civ-esque game).

Can you say Player Headquarters Homesystem? I actually acquired that sector recently in my game. Not to mention you have to do that asinine sudoku puzzle. Yeah, for the paltry sum of approx 400mil credits. It's part of one of the main plots.' -EoD 'You can claim a sector also in the vanilla version of the game. I'd wish you luck but patience and persistance are far more useful. That said, they do some pretty neat things to the universe which makes them worth the while.īe advised that this game is very complex and has no tutorial, google and the x3 forums will be your best friend (especially when you get into mods). The game is completely open, you can do the story quests at your own leisure or not at all. Ships can be upgraded, each ship type is capable of hosting a variety of weapons, shields, and special equipment (jumpdrives, docking computers, etc). However obtaining and outfitting that fleet could take several hundred hours of gameplay. So yes, you can have your enormous fleet warping in to a sector and disgorge several hundred fighters. You can interchage between whichever ship you're flying, be it a little fighter, a freighter or a M2 battlecruiser. You personally fly in one ship, however through the AI you can command up to hundreds. So yes, you begin from VERY humble origins and build up your own empire in a universe which runs to it's own agenda.
