    You got me at Mount & Blade. I also played 100s of hours of Elite Dangerous, though they seem quite different.

      X4 is a mile deep and an inch wide, Elite Dangerous is a mile wide and and an inch deep.

      X4 lets you do much more; own, fly and command dozens or hundreds of ships but the play area is much smaller.

      X4 has an empire management layer that you can choose to use, it also has lots of mods and you can save and load whenever you want.

      Yes, Elite Dangerous focuses the individual side of things while X4 focuses on the management aspect. They ARE quite different but both great games in their own way imho.
