I too was experiencing a repeatable crash in X3 Reunion during the first mission on Linux (mostly up-to-date Arch). I have the version from GOG. On a whim I decided to try replacing the bundled libraries in the lib/ and game/lib/ directories with packaged ones. Surprisingly that fixed the crash and I was able to finish that and eventually dock at a station so I could save after the mission.

I had to build ffmpeg 0.9.4 and GLEW 1.9.0 but all the rest are packaged. Fortunately I know ffmpeg and think it is easy and GLEW just needed a minor change to the lib32-glew PKGBUILD to build the old version. I renamed the two existing directories to lib.old and copied my newly built libavcodec.so.53 libavformat.so.53 libavutil.so.51 libGLEW.so.1.9 libswscale.so.2 into a new game/lib directory.

Now I can fly in space.

[EDIT] I spoke too soon. I now get a crash when loading that game.
