Mission specific commands, like attaching a docking clamp to a cargo container, can be activated either by pressing the corresponding key on the keyboard or by pressing the space bar and using the mouse to click on the icon hat appears on the right hand corner of the screen. But with time they can be learned it just takes a while to remember them all. What does take some getting used to, at least for me, were the keyboard commands of which there were a great deal. You can control acceleration, rotation on the x and y axis, and ofcourse your weapons.
#DARKSTAR ONE SAVE GAMES PRO#
Gameplay-8=The gameplay in Darkstar One depends largely on your control interface, be it keyboard or joystick, but I with my Logitech Exteme 3D Pro found it to be sensibleand easy to handle. And believe me, there will be a lot of them.Īnd now the moment you've all been waiting for.the scores! With careful planning you can turn the shipinto a lumbering powerhouse that can take as much damage as it can dish out or into a swift and nimble fighter that can dodge all the heavy ammunition that the opponents you face will send your way.

Reportson the activities of the Thul are given to you via news broadcasts that you can view which does a good job of fleshing out the realism of the galaxy you inhabit.Īs you harvest each artifact for the Darkstar One, the points are stored and used to change the appearance of the ship itself. There are a lot of alien races and one, the Thul, is giving everyone massive headaches. Your journey through the game is also marked by events in the galaxy around you.

That's one of the focal points of thegame.you can make choices in the game to alter your character's own personal moralityand that will reflect your in game status. You take jobs where they are, and you can choose whether you wish to be a sleazy slave trader or the more humble ore runner. In between becoming a hero and a galactic legend you must get out there and work. You will find that out four yourself in time.Įach system has a different planet(of course), with a variety of trade ships and fighters that cruise around as you enter the system along with a mixed up bag of other space debris.There are also planetary trade stations which you can dock with in order to take on new jobs, buy goods to sell in other systems, and purchase equipment for the various systems of the Darkstar One. These artifacts are marked on the map with a green diamond, but they are not always easy to get. The ship has a unique ability to grow and alter upon the collection of a variety of artifacts that are scattered among the numerous planetary systems that you will explore. Most of the game revolves itself around the unique feature of the Darkstar One. It is a ship of which there is no other like in the galaxyand it will serve as Kayron's tool of revenge and redemption for the young man whose father did not die of natural causes, but met his end at the hands at a murderer. I'm sure you can think up your own examples but I'm only going to talk about one particular game today.The game is Darkstar One, a spaceflight sim, brought to the gaming community by the work of the publisher CDV Entertainment and the developer Ascaron Entertainment.The plot follows itself along these lines: at the start of the game Kayron completes his training as an escort pilot and then hearing that his now deceased father left him an inheritance: the Darkstar One. The theme of avenging a dead family member who was done in by some slimy so and so is, as we all know, not even a remotely new theme in the world of fiction. There are times in everyone's life when bearded men hand you legendary spaceships built by your recently deceased father that you have to use to.sorry, let me start again.

If you wish to save the universe, please stay on the line.
