This is the game that i started the series on and i honestly can't get enough of it. The graphics may not be cutting edge but the game being as old as it is holds up graphically in my opinion despite some bugs and F***ING suicidal AI aside the game has given me so much joy and fun throughout my time playing Though i do recommend mods for the game it is a 100% outstanding game in its base form as well (I just like starwars way too much) All in all its a solid open world space sandbox game. But for all the glazing there are problems that mods do make up for such as the lack of things to do see and interact with though it might not seem like it untill you get about midway through the game and realize that if you arent doing a small mission for money or to fight off the XENON(enemy of all) there isnt really anything to do but watch your money go up to build a fleet then you realize you are far outnumbered outgunned and outclassed by basically every faction with no way to efficiently close that gap and a stray shot ends your run by angering the entire faction of a hit ship and they will find an kill you anywhere you go unless you set up autosaves to undo any stray hits to "friendly or allied factions" (recommend 5min timing unless going into battle just save beforehand and turn off autosave untill done) save times come intermittently and freeze the game untill saved which can take abriatary ammounts of time and can mess you up pretty signifigantly and lastly and this can not be understated the F***ING AI wants to ram anything and everything if it looks like you might crash with AI navigation on turn it off and fly the other way i figured out the coding is the problem but not at the same time as it accounts for the pathways for every vehicle game wide and their paths and tries to not have any intersect but as a player with autonomy that doesnt apply to you so you must be paying attention at all times when using the navigtional AI again it will kill you still upet about my last death 100 hour in without a save since hour 3 left it running with time dialation as soon as i moved with ai it rand directly into the station i was hiding near to let the sim run and died immediately not happy but thats why i remind everyone to turn autosave back on if you do disable for big battles
