Actually I would go with Albion Prelude and a mod which enables the Terran Conflict plots if I'd start the game all over again. Anyway Terran Conflict and Albion Prelude are much better polished so I'd go with them. Reunion was ok-ish, I don't remember exactly whether you could build complexes or not, but the Paranid Hyperion was really hard to get and a cool ship :D.

X2 is nice, but setting up a working economy is a lot of chore. I tried playing X: Beyond the Frontier, but it's far harder to get into as later games. earliest Wizard/Ultima/Might&Magic games, too archaic nowadays.

The first game seems modern enough so that I don't need to skip it, like I would with e.g. Similarly, I have currently installed the first three Heroes of Might & Magic games, with the intention to start from the first game. My intention is to start playing the X series starting from the very first game, so of course I personally need to own them all (which I do).
