Is there a suggested order in which to play them? Is it as simple as playing them in order released? DO all four need to be d/l'd and combined into 1 game?

So my half-damaged ship must remain half-damaged for the foreseeable future? Am I missing something? I've heard of the repair tool, but also read that X3: Reunion doesn't have one. I tried jettison-repairing, with no luck. I'm trying to play without mods for the vanilla experience....

I really wanna get back into the x games, starting with reunion. To say its been years would be an understatment. i know when the game was first released it had a really bad Ui that was fixed in a very early patch. But im sure i remeber a loverly little toolbar down the left side of the side that was so much easier to manage and while still a huge pile of menus to navigate looked nice when i load right now an alsortment of menus across the bottom when pressing Enter which feels so unintuitive.
