I've played the other X3 games, never actually finished them, mainly because there's no real defined goals.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy flying around the universe like the next person. but for the life of me can no figure out the point??

Can someone (after years of playing X3) explain to me the whole point, storyline and how to get started in this game.

Thanks...

For example, starting as a Terran commander in Albion Prelude has you go through a Terran story line.

Follow the link. There you'll find links to each of the games in the X Universe, where you'll find a brief synopsis of the plots.

So if I start as a Argon Peacekeeper, or Terran Commander I'll get a proper storyline.

The others are for "making a name for yourself" type game play??

only thing i could find is a survival guide for albion

maybe that helps

Starting one of the others will begin the game at the beginning of one of the storylines, such as Terran Defender will start the Terran storyline immediately, etc.

Also if you look at the info it should say if the start has a storyline built into it. Something like

Name
Age
Race
etc

Storyline: Enabled/Disabled

Finsh the other x3 games before doing this unless you want to have no idea what's going on.
