Did you try it?

once you have the unlimited jump drive its not challenge anymore
but the game indeed is very nice

after you finish the story line there is basicly just one thing left to do
fly to a bonus system and fight against the 'infamous' "Ascaron Ent. GmbH gang" consisting of the game developers

btw, is SL:TSW making progress?

some

I am trying the demo at the moment as I was interested in it when it first came out.

Seems very complicated and some unlearning is involved as the left mouse button is for firing rather than choosing objects.

I suppose some games have spolit me and I need to have all the info about trading and commodidites available to me in game and Dark Star reminds me of having to write a lot of stuff on paper.

Combat seems a bit heavy going, the ships feeling less fluid than in Freelancer but maybe that will change as I upgrade the ship.

I saved up and bought it
then found out my pc wouldnt run it and since I revamped the machine I have'nt found time to reinstall it

i played all the game until the very end and the bonus system. very fany missions. especialy inside the base or planet. (maybe a idea for CF?) but at the end its nothing more interesting. maybe with a mod or a ML i could try again

the flag is a problem if the PC is too slow. its need a good prozessor.

Turn off or lower down some video setting may make it runs smoother.

DSO and Freelancer have some similar features and game design, both are my favorite.

it would be pretty cool IF you could buy other ships and there would be more stuff to do after the story...

It would be very hard to mod, since the official forum stated that the playership DSO is hardcored. But you may add or alter the other ships.

I'm pleasantly surprised by DS1. Found it in a bargain bin up here where i live and after patching it with the latest 1.3 patch, it runs very smoothly. Reminds me of Freelancer in a way, some interesting features like the ability to go inside asteroids (gets tedious after a while) but a nice touch nonetheless.

The trading side of things can largely be ignored which is sad as it has a dynamic economy but if you do missions only you'll have more than enough cash. A bit more variety in that department would have been nice as well. I'm only about six hours into it but it's definately worth a look. 7/10 (so far lol)

a good game for ppl which like story lines

Yes, i have to agree with that. I've played a few story driven ones before, namely Tachyon the Fringe, Freelancer (although different experience in mp), Wing Commander series, now DS1 and i downloaded Evochron Renegades the other day to try out as well as that seems to have had some good press as well. I don't mind story driven games as long as they don't take over. It has to be an area in the game that you can leave and go do something else then come back to if you feel like it.

I play'd that game long time ago. It was nice game butget bored very fast after playd 3 times xD BUT
I Like Dark star one ship a loth so Tammy 51 made one for me for Freelancer. It was just Mat files end i did the rest so take a look :

Is greth ship for mr. Trent on SP or in MP. Size ..is a fregter but can be gunboat so u can have it us long Tammy51 gets some credit xD
Me... dont wont credits just like ppl to enfoy it same way i do XD
Have fun!

That ship looks complex, which is, great !

Though you jsut posted an image, not uploaded the .mat of it, so we can't enjoy it !!

But if it was only mat, does it mean it has no .sur ?

The ship is finish rady to play in FL with full Mat,CMP end sur files Hard points us well

It looks awsome in game end i be happy to see it in 1.9 (Greth MOD desurf greth ship )

original cockpit?

nah i got the cockpit from some starwars ship dont remeber witch one . I can found out ofc but on any case u can youse any cockpit for that mater so is not that important.
