Not for players who want a fast game.
Best played while doing other things, as you have to wait for tasks to finish.
This can be a little slow until you have a lot of planes flying around the world
A lot of acronyms to decipher or look up.

Over all, it is a complex management game, until you really know what you are doing

played for many years, on-and-off, before it came to Steam.
Was always a hassle to reinstall after a PC rebuild.
Now the installation is done for you.

It is also where I got my name from on the Egosoft Forums. (TTD) :-)

I took a long break from this game. But I have missed it.
Been reading on the discord channel and got interested again.
Have re-downloaded and started playing again.
Mind you, the news of a new X3 game also excites me :-)
If you have not played before, get X3 Terran Conflict and play that before Albion Prelude,
as it will teach you the basics before you jump into the deep end in Albion Prelude

young or old.... classic versions or this latest one...CIV is always a good past time for the casual or not so casual strategist. This is one of the best games I have watched evolve over the past few decades.

Hunter-gatherer, architect, space explorer, engineer, miner....
There are many genres of play style within this game.
A marvellous open-world sandbox,where you control your own destiny.

Nearly 7k hours later... says it all :-)

I have tested other "free" driver updaters.
Most just lists a few out of date drivers but expect you to pay before the drivers get updated.

Of course, if you have the time, you can go through all your drivers and get legit updates, direct.
If you have not got the time or patience, then an automated updater might be worth paying for.

I had decided to go the manual route,until I stumbled on this software.
I tied it.
It found 14 out of date drivers and updated them all without asking for a fee.

Nice one Steam :-)

More utilities like this would be much appreciated.

Not very far into it yet, but the atmosphere , music and scenery are just breathtaking.
Simple controls. Should be easy to learn if you like FPS's etc.

Looks promising .
I am looking forward to learning all the current and future aspects of this game.
:-)

out of all the X-Games , this is the easiest to learn.
It has the largest universe , ships and sectors in the whole series.

But it has a great community to assist with the not so easy bits.

Go on.. buy it...you know you want to...
