Elite never allowed you to start of with a Panther Clipper and a Large 
Plasma Accellerator.

You had to earn those, just like you do in X3. X3 does let you start on 
varying difficulties, and they make a big differenec.

Many people have fleets of Destroyers etc already, go check out the Relic 
forums, it doesn't take 6 months at all. Having said that those people could 
just have played it all day non stop since they got it. Which isn't possible 
for people who work/have commitments.
