I like X3. Still play it from time to time. I finished the story, which was the typical SciFi stuff and mostly forgetable. I like the empire building aspect and exploring the universe, its hugely open ended and the combat is fun.

At this point I have a small fleet of 4 heavy fighters, a gunboat, 4 heavy transports doing automated cargo runs and a HUGE factory that makes me money.

There are quite a few player created scripts that add small wars, Star Wars ships, etc.

I love this genre too, I'll definatly get DO if the reviews are favorable.
