 Servers have been full, the battles have been epic, and the new AI and enhancements are great!  I thank all that were part of the development process here because it's amazing.

This is very good news and info to hear.  I am playing the game right now, and I love it. These changes are only going to take DarkSpace to the next level of awesomeness.  I personally can't wait until 1.484 is ready for some good old fashion beta testing.  Development takes time, but when it's all sudden done I am sure the Devs will pull through.

 

All in all

Keep up the good work

Lately there has been a number of AI introduced to DS. Not a ton of AI, but enough to bring a new twist to DS.  The AI usually comes with an event witch has really brought DS good times.  The events are put together by the staff on their own time, and they do a very good job at it. I have really enjoyed it and I know the rest of the player base feels the same for the most part.  A lot of the events consist of capturing key planets, or fighitng AI rebel forces.  I has brought a great central point of combat to the game.  You can log in a message is announced usally when AI show up and everyone knows where to go to find fun.  A giant 3 way fight between 3 factions and opposing AI.  Good sense of humor with the events as well witch makes loosing hard to be mad about cause it's all in good fun.
All in all well done by the staff and hopefully there will be more to come.  I suggest everyone comes by to check it out.  Kudos to all involved.

It shouldn't be a contestant against EVE. Well yeah every mmo is a contestant against every other mmo, but EVE and Darkspace are too different to be in direct competition with each other for the same players and playerbase. EVE players may not like Darkspace's gameplay, and I know many Darkspace players don't like EVE's gameplay at all.

The problem is people don't really know what Darkspace is all about. They don't know how it plays. All they see is another space mmo. Darkspace differs from EVE the way Shadowbane differs from Everquest (if you know those two games then you know what I'm talking about). Darkspace is a 3rd person PvP chess match on a galactic scale.

In version 484 due for beta testing soon there will be more AI in the metaverse and thus more to do than the pure PvP we have now, but it will still be primarily a PvP game.

I just don't like people comparing this game to EVE. It's not a proper comparison. You can't compare Shadowbane to Everquest since the two games have a different focus, play completely different and appeal to different types of players. Both are a pseudo-medieval high fantasty setting but that's where the similarities end. And you can't compare Darkspace to EVE for the same reason.


Best way to put it is like comparing apples to oranges. They are both round and good for you, but taste compeletly different. Comes down to preference. If you don't know your apples from oranges then you should probably just close this forum.

You are correct. My charactor Smartin is a Grand Admiral witch would be the highest rank.  What you might not be able to see is I enjoy the game enough to have 3 accounts. Witch are not at at that rank.  I still enjoy working on them from time to time when I need a break from my Smartin account.
I can't deny you in one aspect that their is a bit of debating going on in the forums right now, but never judge a book by its cover.  This is just my opinion, but I wouldn't pass on the game because of the forums.  Especailly if it came with a free 2 week trial.  That's why I gave DarkSpace a chance, and it was a good choice for me. In all honesty this is the internet, and some things are unavoidable. 
If you are a new player don't be bashful to come in and ask for help. Their are plenty of players that are willing to help you out. I for one am always will to take some time and show a new player the rops(if I am on).  Name in darkspace is [=TB=]Smartin. Look me up if  you need some help.
I kill these ED's and PD's everyday, and it's really not that hard.  I never even said that DS doesn't have elite weapons either. I know the game has a some flaws in it.  I am still intittled to my opinion that DS is the best game I have ever played, and will always be my favorite.  I don't know who you were in DS and I don't really care.  It's obvious the game was not for you.  Why not just move on instead of wasting your time here in it's forums?  I really enjoy the game and I know a lot of people who enjoy it to.  It has a great community, and it has great game play.  I am sorry your experience in DarkSpace wasn't a good one, but mine was and is still great.  I still play everday.  What does it matter what faction I play anyways this a review about the game not what faction I play.  How do you know I don't have 3 accounts(subbed) so I can play on each faction I desire for when I need a break from another.  Although the developer has talked the slim possability of  the game shutting down due to the recent increase in  subbed players I doubt thats even goign to happen.  Faustus(the developer) was in the lobby the other day letting us know he was working on next version at that very time.   I don't think he would keep updating us and pushing a new version if he didn't see a great hope for the community.
All in all DS rocks If it wasnt for you move on.  Maybe I will see you aroudn DS sometime cause no one ever leaves for every.
Title really says it all. DarkSpace is by far the best game I have ever palyed.  It is a straight up PvP game. Your experience and skill is what will win the battle. It's not b/c you found a "Elite" Weapon or your lvl 88.  I really enjoy this game.  I joined the game basically at the beginning of .483(It's current version), and I can proudly say that I have played this game for at least and hour every single day sense August 4 2005. 
I think one of the biggest reasons I still play DarkSpace to this day is the community. Your forced to interact with everyone. I would have to say you would actually have to try hard to not be a active member in the lobby or even in game.  It has all the right tools to be a successful game, and in my eyes it is.  You can fight, bomb, build, supply, scout whatever. Your options are endless.  It forces teamwork and brings a good sense of accomplishment everytime you hit your gaol.
I have been on the edge of my seat waiting for the new patch. It's goig to take this already great game and work it into something even bigger. Only downfall I see of DS is the fact that I play it so much it often gets me in trouble. I am addicted in a perfect way. I even had to take a short break for a while just to make sure if  I ever had to stop playing I actually could.  You will not see this game dying anytime soon , and I would be irrate if another company besides Palestar got its hands on it. 
Long Live DS,
Smartin
