... attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. 
I've watched C Beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. 
All those moments, will be lost in time like tears in rain..."

HOW TO START 
 
The next section has the basic details to help you chose which game start to use and to also 
help you understand where you are, what the universe has out there and how to Trade, Fight, 
Build and Think in the X Universe. 
 
So when you start a new game, you will find yourself in a small ship flying in a huge universe, 
like a small boat floating in the middle of a vast ocean, you might be not sure about which 
direction to go or what to do next. Your goals may not be small either; your aims might even 
include universal domination, a massive trading empire, be a hero to all, or to be all of these 
things and more.  
 
These are not small goals for such a basic starting position, but they are all very achievable, 
this universe was made for you and if you are up to the challenge, you can make it yours.  
 
Game Start Options 
There are three main game start options, which also include the Story Plot. There are bonus 
game starts, some of which are available immediately and others that can be unlocked by 
achieving various goals within the plot games. The different storyline plot start levels only 
affect the equipment you start with; they do not affect the rest of the game play. The non-plot 
starts not only change the ship and credits you start with but also how friendly or hostile the 
universe is to you.  
 
The Quickstart is good for those who are starting out in the X universe for the first time and 
even those who have played the previous versions as it has good ships that are well 
equipped to get you off to a good and quicker start to greater riches.  
 
The Normal game is a reasonable good start for those who are familiar with previous the X 
games and those new players who like not have it too easy as it gives you a basic start ship 
with some challenge still left for you to achieve.  
 
Finally in the X-treme start, you are given the nearest thing to a spacesuit and a rucksack, 
and it is aimed at those who like to climb steep and very vertical mountains, but if you are  
aiming to end up with the X-treme ranks, it is good to start how you intend to carry on and it 
looks good in your stats.
