a game experience similar to X3 without needing all the mods of X3 to make it fun would be fantastic so I'm ready to be disappointed

can someone who's played this series explain the differences between the games and, say, elite dangerous?

the X series is more 4X where ED is more space trucking

You should hopefully get a nice video about the difference on Monday, but yes basically the X games are far more about being able to materially affect the environment in which you play, being able to build up or destroy the economy of entire empires if you spend long enough on it.

Yeah, I spent my last X3 playthrough docked at a shipyard and automated everything via general commands and mods

Makes me want to do it again but setup is such a PITA now that I don't think I can be bothered
