I captured a Xenon M1 and just went pimping around space in it. Really nice ship (and it looks like a Charon, only all black and evil looking).
The mod that has random attacks on major star systems rocks. Massive Xenon, Khaak, or pirate fleets attack populated areas and chaos ensues.
Can't wait for TC

Originally by: NeoShocker steam package here
But I must ask you guys a question. Is it fun like Star Wars Tie Fighter / X-wing series and a game I can use a joystick with? Considering to buy this, since it seems interesting/fun and being sold at steam. :)
If you like EVE you will probably like X3. Yes you can use a joystick. If you purchase the game I highly recommend you don't bother with the original game and install the Xtended mod. Kind of like Oblivion Lost for STALKER, Xtended turns X3 into a whole new game which is completely awesome.
Other plugins I recommend:
xOne Turret Control System (makes cap ships ultra deadly)
Station/Complex Seller (to sell badly-placed stations or complexes)
Race Invasions (makes for some pretty epic fleet battles in random locations, and you get paid for it too)
Race Response fleets (either to help you with those pesky invasions or to attack you if they don't like you. Very useful and fun)
BBS Extras (adds some new jobs to the BBS).
There are more plugins (mods) that I can shake a fist at for X3, so the choice is up to you, but I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend installing the Xtended mod before you even start the game.

Originally by: Aioa Considering setting up a spaceweed factory so I can bust my own customers.
Set up a space weed/space fuel complex in Elena's Fortune. Plenty of good silicon roids to fuel your power plants and crystal factories, and pirates coming from the illegal areas come in droves to buy your products. You make an absolute FORTUNE in that system with space weed and space fuel.
Only problem is hostile pirate patrols like to pop in and attack stuff. If you have Xtended installed the pirates sometimes bring larger ships like corvettes and small capital ships. I guess you could go and drop space mines all over the place but the police would probably bust you.

Originally by: ReaperOfSly Yay, I've managed to capture myself a pirate nova. Now stuck 3 25MW shields on it, 8 guns and all the usual software thingamibobs and full upgrades. Trouble is it's really really slow. The only way to escape if things go pear shaped is to use a jump drive. Which is annoying. It was also really expensive to repair after I first captured it, so now I am poor and my two poxy factories aren't giving me enough income.
I think I might try that idea of setting up a space fuel/space weed complex in elena's fortune. Where can you get them from?
Well I dunno where you get them from in the original game, but in XTM you can get it from a pirate shipyard in Farnham's Legend (along with other pirate ships. I ♥ the Galleon).
It takes a lot of money to initially set up, but one it is set up, you get profits galore (heh I sound like a teladi).

Originally by: ReaperOfSly I seem to have a problem. My dolphin hauler keeps going missing. It's the one that supplies my plankton farm with energy cells in bluish snout.
I originally thought the nearby xenon blew it up and I missed the "one of your ships is under attack" message. But I replaced it with another one and I literally watched it in my property window disappear without any intermediate shield droppage. Mysterious, annoying and expensive.
Personally I would follow it and see what is happening. There might be bad guys killing it so fast it doesn't show up.
