Patience is the key while playing X2 The Threat . Yes, you can buy M2 or M 1 class ships ( carrier , destroyer ) , having a great experience as " king of the hill " in comparation with Freelancer, for example. The ugly part come in now - it take forever to mount enough cash to do this. After 3-4 weeks of hard work involving trading and " acquiring" pirate ships, I get only a Corvette with some upgrades. Everything is expensive and fighting waves of Khaak aliens require money for refitting and repairs. Not even a space stations empire is a good idea, because the game interface make the macro and micro management impossible . The best thing is the possibility to explore several alien systems and the fun coming from fighting aliens/pirates and selling their ships. But is not fun to play over a year to get the big " trucks " - is boring .
