No, no, and no. I mean, yes, but no.
Darkstar One is a dirty, gangrene clone of the heavenly Freelancer. All the charming wonders of Freelancer - from the atmosphere, ships, music, memorable characters - have been stripped and overused like Las Vegas hooker.
Comparing Freelancer to Darkstar One is like comparing a Porsche Boxster to a Toyota MR2 Spyder. The might look the same, but they're a world apart in class, style, and performance.
But at least you redeemed your sacrilege by acknowledging DS:1's predictability, and Oblivion-in-Space-ness.
