I just wanted to write as I've decided to pop back in and give the X games another try. As a totally blind player it's occasionally rather difficult, but I have a secret weapon at my disposal this time around, a way to read the selected menu item. This might sound trivial, but it definitely was the source of a lot of my frustrations with X3 previously.
Thanks to some excellent advice from another site, I have a shortcut which will oCR and give me the current menu selection. It's still OCR so of course not guaranteed to be perfect, but it does work most of the time i've tried thus far.
I'm looking forward to diving back in and actually seeing if I can make it reasonably far in this time.
