X3: Terran Conflict or X3: Albion Prelude?
So I just bought the X super pack and I was wondering which game I should play. I was going to play Albion Prelude since its the newest, but then I heard about the stock exchange. I heard that it was way too easy to make money and almost exploitable. So, because of this, should I play Albion Prelude, or stick with Terran Conflict?
TC has a much more hardcore exploit in the form of nividium that far exceeds that of the stock exchange.
the money made from the stock exchange by playing it for an hour is negligible compared to the money that can be earned by nividium in 5 minutes.

might as well play AP, it is a much better sandbox experience.Agentmass wrote:And AP fixes this issue that TC had with the money exploit? Also, I never really cared much for story anyways.

TC has a fairly considerable number of plots available for you to do, and some are quite lengthy (but enjoyable all the way through)Agentmass wrote:But don't I have to start over from scratch after being done with TC? And, I will have to re-learn AP from the beginning.
Also, what do you mean by more things to do?

AP is newer, more optimized version with some nice additions (unexperienced player won't really care about them). But TC got plot.
There is a mod enabling TC plot in Albion Prelude - i don't know if it works flawlessly, but if it is - it's obviously a great answer to your question. If not - play TC first.

If you are new to the X series or haven't played X3:TC yet, just start/play TC. AP has some new features which are sometimes a double-edged sword.
AP as already said is more like a sandbox. You can "play war" little bit better (but there is one faction less in the game...), with some features you can skip "early game". There are alot less longtime goals in AP and when i had to choose, I would like to play (Vanilla) TC with some AP improvements (but sadly thats impossible)
