Unfortunately there’s no simple bounty hunting system, but instead you have to buy a “police license” for certain race and then you’re paid for every pirate killed in those systems. There’s the good old trading, piratism, combat missions, delivery missions and so on. The player can choose to do whatever they wish in this huge X3 universe. If your ship has a jump module, you can use that too. You travel between systems via these stargates. I haven’t even discovered all the systems yet.

It’s more a playground for modders, but I found it enjoyable. I prefer custom game myself, since it detaches you from the story and let’s you do whatever you wish. Scenarios have stories tied to them and you get different amounts of money and ships to start the game with. There’s multiple ways to start the game: different kind of scenarios or custom game. This can be overwhelming at the beginning, but when you start realising how things work and what there is to do, it gets fun! Me and my Nova The game basically throws you into a huge universe in a dinky lil ship and then tells you to do whatever you want. X3: Terran Conflict is a very popular space sim in space sim communities. AP just has some quality of life fixes and a huge war going on in a few systems. But now, I wanna tell you guys about a space sim that I really like! I’m playing the Albion Prelude expansion in these screenshots, but TC and AP are really similar to each other.

Sorry for the month of silence, I didn’t have much time/energy to write anything here.
