X Rebirth

Finally picked up Home of Light yesterday so I’m about to give this game a proper shot. Looks like developers put in a ton of effort since the game was released. I tried googling for mods but quickly realized I’d need to play the game first to see what I even need because Egosoft implemented so many improvements into the base game.

@rhamorim et al, any tips for complete beginners? Should I stick with campaign or jump straight into free play? Any must have mods that are compatible with the latest version? If possible I’d like to avoid stations because I really don’t want to crawl in vents when playing a spaceship game. Bonus points if I can avoid the interaction with npcs that look like they’re straight out of horror movie.
