In my opinion X-3 is hard to beat for an elite-clone with pretty much better Everything.
Getting started cold (like I did) requires a little steep learning curve time, but there's a 
great resource out on the web, somebody's collected all the faq and walkthroughs and strategy 
guides published for it and put them in a (pdf?) book that's free to download.

As far as I'm concerned, this game is better'n anything I tried so far, and I just wish I had 
more time to play it.
