For those looking to for information on this game since 4.0 HOL.

I Purchased the expansion pack recently after contemplating giving X-R another go. I was plesently surprised.

I started a new HOL game and have enjoyed every bit of it. The game actually works now. I'm still sour that this is how the game should have run originally but atleast now everything seems enjoyable.

There are still minor bugs but they dont detract enough from the gaming experience to make me regret picking up the new x pack.

Gameplay is smooth, Trading is fixed, Combat is enjoyable. The game doesn't seem as slow as it did previously. I haven't put enough time in to start station building but I am really enjoying the game and really suggest anyone who was orignially interested in this title to give the new HOL xpack a decent go.

I can't speak for the other games, but X3 Terran Conflict was huge, you could build anywhere, and it was absolutely awesome. For you, and all those reading your review, I highly recommend you check out X3 Terran Conflict and note when the game finally started getting playable (I think it was around version 2.something). Egosoft is horrible about early releasing games while they are buggy messes. I have high hopes Ego will get the game into working order.

I was playing X when it was still beta in 1998, and sadly all those bugs you mention have always been in every release of the X-series. (X-Beyond the Frontier, X-Tension, X2 etc.) I am surprised to hear that they are still in the game. Really sad, because the actual story / races and idea of the X-Universe was awesome and had major potential.

I think I will wait for more patches, thank you for the review!

Cant even get started, concept is too vast doesnt really help you all that much if you haven't played the series before.
