Gameplay
The X-Universe consists of fifty-four star systems, and within each of these is several instillations, shipyards, space stations, factories, and solar power plants. The player earns profits by trading with said instillations which can be used to upgrade weapons, cargo space, and shields. The player earns maximum profits from trading between star systems, but it is also possible to profits from trading within a single system. Many of the star systems in the X-Universe contain planets, but it is impossible for the player to land on them, and these planets are often located far away from factories plants, and other instillations.
