Haven't played the game since launch, how is status of game?

Hey all, so I bought the game around when it first came out was was mainly disapointed with how it was at the time and decided to give it some time before trying it out again. I was just wondering how the game is now after all the DLC and updates if if two of the major issues I had with it have been solved

A) Does the economy still grind to a halt if you don't baby sit it? I'm not being into the trading side of the X games, never have been. And I remember all shipyards running out of mats and the galaxy dying after only a few hours of gameplay if you didn't single handedly carry it, has this been fixed?

B) Did they add any more combat missions? Last i played the only real combat missions were to go shoot mines or broken towers. And maybe occasionally you'd get a xenon that pops in to say hi and made it feel kinda pointless working up to bigger combat ships. I missed the pirate hunts, station defenses, and all those combat based missions from X3 and them.

I'm stoked to see that terrans and split got readded into the games but dunno if I wanna go ahead and buy all the DLC if these two main issues weren't solved.

I did start at 3.10.

The economy seems to hold; my trading was quite minimal for a long time.

There is Escort Miner to Station (where Kha'ak spawn to harass you). There is Destroy Turrets of Station. There is Destroy Station. Were they in the initial release?

Mind blowingly better in almost all aspects. Make sure you get all the DLC's and the new Boron race drop. They are all worth it and add more depth to the game, plus you can get some QoL mods too.
