@beaudacious: The issue would be the amount of time it takes to play the game and the amount of your life it takes away from you and yes somewhat the sandbox nature where what you do is entirely up to you and there really is no story except what you make yourself. If I am going to play a game I want story that I can follow and get sucked into!

@kingschiebi: I totally felt compelled to make a couple of spreadsheets to play X3: Reunion. Only game I've ever done that with.

They're in space. How does a column of burning fire at 00:54 exist in space?

Also, is the X series big on you controlling capital ships (ie dreadnaughts, carriers, cruisers) and NOT on little itty bitty fighters/interceptors (ie every single space sim game except EVE)?

If you want capital ship combat I recommend the I-War series, the first two games focus exclusively on space dreadnaughts, while the last game (I-War 2, released in 2001) starts you off with interceptors but lets you fly capital ships later on. They are all available on GOG.

There's of course also Star Trek Bridge Commander and the infamous Battlecruiser 3000AD.
