but i'd be interested in X2. i've heard quite alot about this game, mostly about
it's openendedness, which was highly promoted. but in that respect freelancer
is equal to X2. of course, you've got to follow the plot first of all, but after you've
finished the main story, you're still free to continue the game in various directions.
in fact, this does not include building own stations and such...


That's one difference--building your own stations, factories, auto-trading ships in X2. Another is the ability to lead a fleet. A third is that you can't upgrade your craft past several specific points in Freelancer until you do series of plot missions, while in X2 you can build up your ship as much as you want until you feel ready to move ahead.

My copy just arrived, today. I'm busy reading a few guides to the economy and such.
