I really like sandbox games, and I'd REALLY appreciate it if anybody could reccomend me a space game where you can build stations and structures.

Try X3.thusaha
Learn to read. I have it but its just waaaaaaay too steep of a learning curve and it takes way too long to get places.
its not a sandbox game, but it is considered the best space sim ever - Freespace 2 (there is also a graphics mod that update the visuals) give it a tryfoggy666
I've been intending too, but i think id probably get bored with it. And thats not the point of this topic :P But thanks for confirming its good even now :D

fun, deep indie space sim... check it out
Try to find a copy of Independence War 2. Great space sim. Like X3 but much more user friendly. (and a much better flight/combat system).
bogaty
agreed. one of my favorite games ever

Yeah, I love the game, but I just can't figure out how to do anything with it. I either blow up, crash, lose all my money and can;t sell anything I buy because no-one anywhere buys it.I can only suggest Freelancer. I love it. If it could be given some great updated graphics and a new campaign I'd still play with all the same game mechanics.
[QUOTE="thusaha"]Try X3.MechanicalSporkLearn to read. I have it but its just waaaaaaay too steep of a learning curve and it takes way too long to get places. Not meaning to sound awkward, but try an earlier game in the series - either X-BTF, or X2 The Threat. The series really is excellent once you get into it and understand how it works, but sadly they did get a bit caught up in making it deeper and more complex to the point of it being massively overwhelming to new players. X2 is probably the best place to start on the series. It has a lot of improvement over XBTF, allowing you to fly a huge range of ships, where the first game kept you in your initial ship (with lots of upgrades). Start trading in basic goods like energy as most places will buy that, and do some basic transport missions to earn credits. Once you have built up a nice amount of money you can start building your own space stations to produce goods. X2 is between the first and third games in terms of complexity, but if you get stuck with something you can look at the Egosoft X forums where there are good guides on most aspects of the game, particularly on trading and how to setup factories and economies that run themselves. EDIT - Corrected Egosoft forums
I never picked up Star Trek Legacy because I was under the impression that it was flat out horrible, especially on the PC. Did patches/mods change that?My favourites around easier space sims
- Freespace 2
- Freelancer
- Star Trek Legacy (if your a fan)
Since you've played Freelancer id recommend Freespace2, its the best rated space sim on Gamespot.
