Just got this game a few days ago, absolutely loving it, still trying to wrap my head around it all. I'm coming from a ton of Factorio experience where I would just afk and let the game run for weeks sometimes, just doing small tweaks and things when I have time.

What would happen if this game were to just sit afk for long enough?

I've already let it run overnight a few times with some miners gathering and selling ore and silicon.

Would the Xenon theoretically just destroy every station and completely dominate space? Or would the other factions balance out and be able to hold their own?

I just finished about 7,000 hours of Factorio over the past 3 years. It was pretty much the only game I've played since I bought it. Needless to say, I needed something new.

I got X4 a few days ago and I am absolutely hooked. The depth of this game is just unreal. More and more is opening up and the systems, logistics, automation etc. are just top notch. It's basically single player EVE Online.

I have a few medium mining boats just mining ore and auto selling for passive income. I have a captain chauffering me around the sectors completing missions and buying low/selling high.

I feel like I've only scratched the surface. I'm about 20 hours in, and I imagine this will be my next 7,000 hour game.
