Is story worth playing through?
Furthest I've gotten is like, the first station. Which I've had to do 3 times so far because I get attacked by riot control every time for no reason. Um.

But yeah, I'm an X3 vet and should kind of know what I'm doing if I just get thrown in. So should I even bother with the story, or just jump into free play?

free play is more lacklust to me, it's like no objective

this is my 2nd attempt at the campaign
the reason for me to restart this, because a mod - conquest and war - allow me to continue the plot with intensive battle, though the mod still wip

also becos i picked up the trick of the game, now at early stage of game, i already captured many capital ships

@Hanyzzle, check your inventory for illegal wares, that is the number one cause for police to harass you, illegal wares should be in a different colour.

Well, after i finished the Story i was like wtf did i just play.
Seriously the Story isn´t worth playing it.

Does the story end and the player is just left to do nothing? This is one of many reasons I am not playing this game or playing the story. If someone answers its a sandbox, well I wont be happy to be treated like an idiot. I hope there is some goal to continue to playing.

Also I dont want to play this game until the NPC are redone to not be so ugly. Also the station interiors are ugly and tiny.

Also captial ship bridges added properly is a must and station announcements and a couple other things to make the game nicer and not so ugly as to get depressed even thinking about it.

Thanks. :)

x series game plot all are like that

it is the mod that extend the gameplay
the story is like an easy mode to let u setup some measure and foothold for ur empire
once u hit the end of plot, there is always mod to extend the gameplay, and where real challenge kick in

The story is OK. It's your basic sci-fi power struggle and you're in the middle. As long as you have two brain cells in your head, you should be able to follow along without issue.

The fact that you default to "I did nothing wrong!" mentality instead of "hmmm, what's going on here?" tells me the learning curve is probably too steep for you. This isn't X3. You don't know anything about this game. Forget everything you know about x3 and you'll be far better off.

I think it's worth playing through, you get a good first station, and also there are some cool set piece battles that you wouldn't get otherwise.

Personally, I lke the story-mode for the objectives and challenges it gives you, even repairing rep after it finishes is a good post game mission.

Alright, thanks for all the answers guys, I think I'll give it a whirl.

It's actually happening the first time I enter the system, right after I started the game. I haven't done anything at that point (so I don't think it's illegal wares), but the riot guys will still show up red to me, right away. I think I'll figure it out though.
