This is an amazing game. Don't buy X: Rebirth, buy X3, it's a way better game in most aspects. Doesn't matter if you want to trade, explore, mine, or fight you'll get a lot of fun out of this game. Want to be a bounty hunter who spends all his profits on pimping his ride? You can do it. Want to build an gigantic megacorp with stations dotted around the entire galaxy? You can do it. Want to be a pirate and capture trading vessels floating through lawless space? You can do it. Want to build a giant war fleet and wage war on a race you don't like, destroying them and taking their sectors for yourself? You can do it. Want to be a policeman and scan ships for contraband, getting paid for any smugglers you find, then seize their goods so you can sell them yourself to make even more profit? You can do it. Want to be a defender of civilisation and kick invading xenon butt? You can do it. Want to just kill an hour shooting asteroids to collect ore that you can sell? You can do it. This game is whatever you make it. If you like complex sandbox space games this will drain hundreds of hours from your life.
Best farming game I've ever played. I get the feeling that unlike other similar games there's a ton of late game content to keep you busy. If you liked other farming games you'll love this. Originally pirated but deemed it good enough to pay full price for.
