X-Tension vs X3: Reunion

X‑Tension is the expansion pack for X: Beyond the Frontier, adding a non‑linear mission system, dozens of new ships, and the ability to capture pirate vessels. It broadens the universe with over 40 new sectors, more than 90 trade locations, and introduces the larger TL class freighter in the Version 2 update. The expansion lets players trade over 50 goods, interact with five unique alien races, and defend against the hostile Xenon, delivering a deeper 4X experience on PC.

X3: Reunion expands the X‑universe with a brand‑new 3D engine, two additional sectors and a gargantuan Player HQ that lets you build and paint your own ships. The game introduces a deeper, dynamic economy where factories, wars and realistic pirate behavior shape trade routes and market prices. Take command of the new M7 battleship, customize your fleet, and engage in sandbox‑style action‑strategy gameplay that blends role‑playing, simulation and open‑world exploration into a single massive space adventure.
