I played a game called Privateer when I was a kid on my 486. It was a blast. Since then I've been looking for that, but big and modern. I finally found that in X4 foundations. A first person single player space sim with all the good stuff. You can trade, pirate, bounty hunt, and explore. You can hire other pilots and build. I love this game!

Heh, I am up to the point where I have more military hardware than the governments. Start looking into building a space station first, that is the way to get stupid money.

Eve Online. I used to stand off fleets of people in my fast moving battleship. I could outgun just about everything, and what I couldn't out fight I could outrun. Striding across the battlefield like a God, smiting every player in my path screaming leeroy Jenkins with epic music blasting from every speaker... Good times.

Eve online? The spreadsheet balancing game where trolls and scammers are the primary enemy? The pay to win spy game where every friend is an enemy? The game of lies?

X4 is clunky. I've tried every single goddamn X-series game and they're like fat chicks, fun for a while but not worth talking home about. If you want a better space sim experience, elite dangerous is superior!

Not massively so. And X4 will still be available after ED shuts down its servers.

And hackers can / will enable the single player only feature. And when they shut down the ED servers I'll go cry in X4 or X5 - but the UI especially feels like it was made by blind children being beaten daily. It's just so badddddd

Most of the map data, location and resource data, and all the economy data isn't on each downloaded version.

You did rebind the controls, right?
