It's amazing what people have made from the game.

Eh, for me it is a large part of why I play space sims. The thrill of piloting ever bigger ships trumps all else. I want to fly around in the biggest, baddest motherfucking ship in the galaxy. I did the same in X3 Reunion. I built myself a massive trading empire specifically so that I could afford to fly around in capital ships and just fuck shit up.
It does seem pretty potent. Whenever I'm RES hunting in my vulture I never take on Clippers unless they're solo.
The only problem is I don't understand the faction system. I want the Clipper, but at some point I also want to fly around in a Federal Corvette.
You misunderstand. You don't have to join a faction to get the faction related ships. You just have to be their ally, and rank up in their navy. This doesn't mean that you are specifically all buddy with them. As you can be allies with all the factions in the game. I like to think of it more as a: "This commander is abiding the rules and helping out our policing staff, we should reward him with access to better ships" kind of deal.
