  • hmmm..I requested a new password hours ago and haven't gotten a reply. I tried to create a new account and haven't gotten a reply to that either.  Is DS down or are you really holding my post against me Draf?

  • tsk..it's still 483   Hopefully, it's an updated version of 483 but, it doesn't matter because i still really liked the game.  Draf, since you are apparently watching this thread, how about prodding F in to sending me a new password.  I had some trouble getting my username and pass to work.  I messed up and thought i had the pass wrong and clicked for a new password, when actually i was using the wrong username.  Now i can't login until I get the new password.

  • it was late when I posted, so I didn't get a chance to download DS again before I went to bed.  Most of my comments were in regard to 1.483 version of the game, but your reply makes it sound like 484 has released. Is it true?  Is two weeks finally over?  I'm heading over to pale star right now!!! I warn you Draf, if you got my hopes up for nothing I shall return and flame the crap out you(j/k) .

  • Wow, DS is still alive?!  I got to say, when i saw ds on the game list with a even semi-active forum I was stoked.  Unfortunatly, after reading some of post in the forums I realize not much has changed since I got fed up and quit. 

      First, Draf is nice enough, heck all the mods/admins in ds are (excepting backslash who who is the most arrogant man I've ever met) but you can't really trust most of what draf says.   Draf has a tendency to give news on the slant.  Like what was said about have several devs.  While true they may all be "devs" no of them are really working on ds.  Also, that bit about wanting input from the commuinty and letting them have a say.....yea your free to post in the forum any idea you have, but it's gonna get ignored either because no ones doing anything, one of the other factions says no, backy doesn't like it, etc.etc. Besides, the only thing the community ever really wanted was a patch..a hot fix...an update...anything at all... I mean most of us would have been satisfied with a semi-vague time table of when we could expect something.  What we got instead was more than a year of "the patch will come out in two weeks tm". (bleh i can't remember how to make the trade mark symbol)

    Second, Ds has crap loads of problems.  Tons of lag,de-syncs, disconects, uber noob ships(you get real frustrated when your battleship lands a full salvo on a scout ship and does no damage), exploit ship set ups, broken ranking system(it's more than possible to move from ensign to admiral in 4 days), broken money system(when your ship is destroyed you get a full refund of your credits, so whats the point of having them?), faction hopping, low player base(often times you will find yourself alone in the mv), many flamers in the forum, cursing, harassment, the list goes on for quite awhile.  Now, draf may dispute some of these , but i was there and I believe i spent more time in game than he did. 

    Third, all the above makes it sound like i hated ds, I didn't but, this is a third party site so I was honest about the game and it's drawbacks.  The truth be told, after playing a few other mmos(EVE included)  DS still blows them all away.  It is a truely awesome game once you get in to it, and now that I know it's still active I'm gonna re-join.  Hopefully, draf won't hold this against me when I ask for my rank back.
