    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.

    The federal Corvette is a flying fortress. It has some seriously amazing firepower going for it. Not to mention the fact that it is decently agile for such a huge chunk of metal. And the two huge HPs right behind the cockpit gives it a really frightening look.

Because each of us remember something differently and each of us play differently. Not to mention the market is much larger now with many different ages all playing the same games.

    Perhaps after a couple of cycles it will be what you remembered.
    So basically it's going to be early access for nine years, and I have to pay $60 every year? Or $600 for a proper working product? No thanks, I'll un-sub from that BS.
    When an anti-piracy method is affecting the game for people who legitimately bought it and causing other people not to buy the game, there is obviously something wrong with it!

    yeah and nothing over "Competent"

    I'm quite happy being factionless. I like the freedom of going where ever I want with out opposing factions trying to blow me up.

    My new Elite Life Goal is to own an Anaconda

    Fair enough. I'm also factionless, because joining a faction does not give me any benefit that I feel is worth it yet.

    yeah don't quite see the point either beside for the couple of ship that require it for purchase, like the Federal Gunship I also wanted.

    don't understand power play or it's purpose either yet

    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.
