I played Rebel Galaxy for a few hours and, despite its mediocrity, I realize how much I want a space sandbox.

I'd play: Elite Dangerous, but reviews and /v/ are speaking shit about it. So, what's a good space sandbox/sim for a newcomer? Bonus points if it had cool ships, fun combat, freedom and planet landing.

X3 is pretty good.
It's got plenty of nice ships, the combat can be fun in some situations, and it's not that hard to get into. However, it doesn't have planet landing, at the sandbox-ish aspect of it is more of an offline EVE.

Oh, I forgot to tell I don't want MP games.

I heard about this one. Should I go for Terra Conflict?

albion prelude is the latest and greatest, so probably that

Recoil ahoy
>a smaller gun on the top
For what purpose?
>missiles that are barely larger than the minigun barrels

I honestly kinda want to see this fly, on the only condition that the miniguns are mounted backwards as a mean of propulsion

I played Reunion extensively, so that's the one I know the best. As for TC or AP, I don't really know.
I'd say AP if you don't care about the story and are only interested in the sandbox aspect of it.
Btw, the game has a scripting language that's extensively used for any autopilot function. As such, there are plenty of mods giving you access to more advanced commands, if you're heavily into trade and empire building.

I have a couple hundred hours logged in Elite Dangerous. It's not for everyone. It's very grindy, has an incredibly steep learning curve, and generally it doesn't offer much to do yet. Much like truck simulator, just with many more dimensions of movement, higher speeds, weapons, pirates, terrorists, pvp, mining and general combat. It also has a ton of immersion, and great potential for RP, if you are the autistic sperg kind. I largely disagree with many of the negative reviews, but ED is certainly not for everyone.

Watching your 5000$ .jpeg spaceship can be perfectly played solo, no MP required :^)

Terran Conflict is general better than AP, if you're playing full vanilla. AP has a couple of good overhaul mods that TC doesn't but some retarded features by default.

Be warned though, the game is great but it is some high-tier autism.
