For example two story missions resemble final Death Star run from Star Wars or the Thul Cruiser saying " We are the Thul. Game contains numerous references to other sci-fi universes. And now, because of drone attacks the Thul become isolated in their two sectors from the rest of galaxy which slowly prepares to war with them. However even now there are still disputes between Oc'to and the Arrack about the borders, and sightly mistrust between Raptor and Mortok who not far ago end the war between each other. Terran were those who created the Galactic Union after the great galactic war in which they suffered severe looses. In Terran territory there is Galactic Union council in Sol System, Alpha Centauri cluster. This version was tweaked by SNFNorbert to remove some unnecessary files (cutting down the size by 52MB) and streamline the installation process. No one seems to know who the original creator was. These are Terraner, Mortok, Raptor, Oc'to, Arrack, and Thul. This is a mod from long ago thats now hard to track down thanks to the original forum it was hosted on being wiped. There are seven races in the galaxy, however only six have territories. Galaxy is divided into 23 sectors which contain 331 systems. Plasma cannon can create shield, emp blast, shield overwhelming shot, stop the time for nearby units or even create impenetrable plasma shield.Īrtifacts can be collected by searching asteroids in systems where Artifact is on targets list, by liberating systems taken by pirates or by completing quests (both side and storyline can bring these). Also each few upgrades Darkstar can use higher levels of weapons, energy or equipment. What's more - hull and wings upgrades give additional weapons capability, up to 5 turrets (10th level of hull) and bow weapons (10th level of wings). Each next upgrade gives player more hull resistivity, as well as certain upgrades, such as shorter recharge times when upgrading Propulsion or more agility when upgrading Wings. Hull can be upgraded in 3 directions - Hull, Wings and Propulsion. However to gain furtherer levels of weapons or energy devices player must upgrade his ship by collecting alien artifacts - these lead to biological upgrades which are essentially hull upgrades and plasma cannon upgrades. These have 9 levels, and higher one can be bought only on most wealthy worlds. Standard, mechanical equipment includes: weapons (standard, turrets and missiles), energy devices (such as shields, thruster, generator, cargo scanner) and equipment (one time use, as plasma refuel or shield recharger). ![]() Additionally player can trade, mine, or liberate star systems from pirates.ĭarkstar One can be upgraded in two ways: biological and mechanical.

Soon Kayron finds that all these attacks happen moments after Jack leaves the stations, and in this way he slowly involves himself more and more into conflict with enemy far greater than he ever thought. Meanwhile fragile peace amongst races grouped in Galactic Union is endangered by attacks of Thul drones on research stations of all races. This enables you to install more and bigger weapons or goodies like a shield-booster.The Darkstar One is a prototype, biological long range interceptor, its new pilot, Kayron Jarvis, begins his journey to find the killer of his father - Jack Forrester. ![]() If you have enough artifacts for an upgrade, you can boost the basic attributes of the ship. You upgrade the ship through artifacts you found in asteroids. Through the whole game you only fly the Darkstar One. As opposed to other games of this type, you don't buy a bigger ship. It is also possible to search for artifacts. Every action influences the reputation with at least one faction and the game gives you total freedom in what you want to do or what career you want to pursue. As a last gift from his father, he gets the ownership of the one-of-a-kind ship Darkstar One and now makes his way to find out the truth behind his fathers death.ĭarkstar is a mix of Freelancer and Wing Commander: Privateer as you can fly your ship either with a mouse or a joystick.Īs you solve the riddle you can visit 330 star-systems in which you can trade goods from other systems, take contracts like blasting a pirate gang out of the sky or try to be a pirate yourself. ![]() Fresh from the flight-academy he learns from an good friend of his father, that his mysterious death was caused by sabotage.
