Couldn't agree with you more, Starpoint Gemini is a watered down version of Darkstar One which is a watered down version of Freelancer which is a watered down version of Wing Commander: Privateer.

X3 is more of an economy simulator (in space), if you want combat look elsewhere.
Buy Starpoint Gemini Warlords or I will put a severed head of a horse on your bed.

That's pretty much on the money. If you're usually into the action/sandbox part you may like it, but that's about all it has to offer.

I beg to differ on this one - X3's combat can be quite fun (especially in Terran Conflict and Albion Prelude, where the enemy ship boarding mechanic has been further refined). But yes, to get there you kind of need to build your own economy and that puts a lot of people down, whereas to others it's pure gold.
Checking the Scott Manley on that one.

Meh ? Looks like a more 3D Rebel Galaxy. Without the cool music. Dunno. Anyway, you can check if these videos sell it to you.

But I'd say go Rebel Galaxy or Nexus first. Both are fun, in opposite ways.

Yeah. Already own both. Thanks then. I need to get back into Rebel Galaxy at any rate.
