Following X2: The Threat, this sequel brings a new 3D engine, a new story and new ships to the space trading and combat series. You fly freely through a large universe, trading goods, fighting and building up an empire of your own.
The economy is more complex than in earlier games: computer-controlled characters build factories and trade on their own, wars can shift the global economy, and pirates behave more realistically. An Artificial Life system is meant to keep the universe evolving, so the player's actions can influence it. It is a single-player game for those who enjoy deep space-trading simulation and are happy to set their own goals.
