I remember buying X2 years ago and back then I had a lot time to play games and after about 30mins I was ready to uninstall it. The problem was when I was younger Elite was my favorite game on my Amiga and I badly wanted a modern equivalent and this was a close at it got so I created an account on the Egosoft forums and spent a lot of time readying user guides, tips, advice on the best strategies to make money and get the most out of the game. The next day I loaded it up again and tried a few simple things like trading some energy cells, locating a disused cargo ship which I claimed and sent for repairs, learned how to trade remotely, used the money to buy satellites so I could get real time information from different systems which would make trading a lot easier. After a day or two I had enough money to buy my first station and soon after that I created my own factory loop.Too thick to play this.
I "get" the game but Jesus it's hard to figure stuff out. I've bought a scout ship and hired someone to pilot it for a mission. They have to pick up 3 antimatter cells and fly into a void.
So far I've managed to get them to fly to a station that have some I've already paid for but they can only pick up one so I'm at an end on what to do apart from buy a bigger ship.
This really needs a decent tutorial as you go along.

Sorry. I don’t understand. Never played the X games but is this a good or bad thing ?
You may well need a bigger ship. To be fair it does say that you need to play the game a bit first before progressing with that mission.
