Anyone heard of Darkstar One?

[Nethaufer]

I just recalled one of the first space games I got in to, which is a neat little game called Darkstar One, by Ascaron. It had trading stuff and whatnot as well, and was a rather interestingly made space game. I got it for free from some guy, and I enjoyed what little I did play of it.

got it, and never played it, now freelancer was a dam good game.

I was a bit young to look into Freelancer. Its on my list of things to try though, some time.

I have Darkstar One, played it briefly, can't remember much of it though.

Played all the way through DS1. I loved it, good story from what I remember.

I think I only got to the part where the main alien enemy was introduced, and then something happened that caused my safe file to reset, and I never played it that much again.

Agreed. I loved Freelancer.
Couldn't abide Darkstar 1 and the latest X game (Rebirth) for the same reason. You only fly ONE ship. Sure you can get fancy upgrades and such but I find that kind of boring being limited in such a way.

The whole flying the single ship thing was kinda boring, but I was pretty impressed with the whole upgrade system for the ship. I really like games that have a visual improvement of your character or vehicle or whatever as you upgrade it. It's something I hope FDev does some time with ED, at least to some minor degree.
