Pros
Cons
Con Space Travel is Slow
Unless you have the SETA technology installed you will find flying through space is INCREDIBLY slow. You have a booster but that runs out quickly AND drains your shields which is idiotic. There is no warp drive. You must either use "highways" or fly the ship normally. If your mission target is a few hundred KM away from you, I'd advise setting the ship to autopilot then reading The Dark Tower from beginning to end. By the time you're done you may be half way to your destination.
Con Only One Ship
While you can command an armada of ships, it's not very easy to do. In addition, you only get one ship, the Albion Skunk, and can slightly upgrade it's weapons and shields but it proves to be fruitless as you're still a small vessel compared to some of the massive ships that you could command in X3.
