I 'may' revisit an X game 'when' or rather 'if' it ever gets some decent 
planet landing abilities which you can control and are as realistic as 
Elites was. But the game will have to be a bit more interesting to play and 
without the stupid star gate system where it can take a lifetime to get 
across a few different systems. If they could introduce a hyperspace system 
with fuel like Elite then that would be much better. But lets face it I am 
dreaming.

Oh yes and there should be some brilliant beam lasers introduced like 
Frontier, not to mention brighter graphics and more 'down to Earth' feel to 
the game. I just feel that the game designers are trying to hard to be 
artistic and come up with these sparkling dreamy fantastical space stations 
when in actual fact I feel that space travel in the far future will be more 
like Star Wars not 2001. Things should be grimy and broken in places, 
pirates should be rife, police should be seedy, and you should be able to 
hang around in far out systems and live like a pirate without even needing 
to go near the inner systems except for plunder. The game just doesnt have 
any of these aspects - in fact the only way you can play the game at the 
moment is to be a trader. You cant explore, you cant pirate, you cant bounty 
hunt, or run courier becuase all of these aspects ae just really boring to 
do after a few goes. In Frontier you could live a life of exploration or 
being a pirate and never get fed up. Well not for months anyway.
