Very pleasantly surprised by the amount of efforts put into the game

Just about everywhere I look there are QoL upgrades as well as new contents put into the game. I was expecting nothing more than a small wonky mission chain, sort of like AP with one more story mission that bridges the gap between AP and X4.

Boy was I wrong, FL can 100% legitimately be called a new expansion for X3. In fact, I dare say the amount of new contents maybe even exceeds what we got from AP (over TC).

No matter what I did I couldn't help screaming "that is a thing now?". For example, the lifesuit alone has two big QoL upgrades (pre-installed seta, and beam no longer flickering at low energy). Massive overhauls on player station, hyperlinked encyclopedia, faster/no more station build cam, equipment fitting, non-intrusive seta, etc. I also notice the amount of "rare" prototype/advanced ships roaming around now, which is very welcoming for a ship collector. It is very apparent everyone in the team has played AP for years.

In general, I was expecting NOTHING but surprised big time. It truly feels like playing X3 for the first time yet again.
