The baddies to tend to conveniently "upgrade" when you do, but its mostly noticeable during the early points of the game when the Darkstar is still kind of weak. Towards the end you can pretty much plow through anything thanks to the tricked out plasma shield.

*raises hand* Demo was absolute garbage though not nearly as bad as the Space Force 2 demo. The idiotic credit cap (as something like 10755 cr) didn't really do the DS1 demo any wonders either, since you couldn't exactly buy a new engine to get the hell out of there. Tell me what exactly pissed you off about the demo and I'll let you know if it's still there in the retail version or not.

What are you playing now?
After being betrayed by seemingly innocuous friends of the vampiric circle, I was encased in my own coffin and dumped in the middle of the ocean causing me to fall into a deep state of torpor. But thanks to the aid of the ever intrepid Polly, we managed to lure a Japanese tourist shop to our rescue, of whom naturally we left for dead with with booty to boot (hence my recent "acquisition" of a PS3). So, Jags, is the ranking: Freelancer, Space Rangers and then Darkstar One? I would say that ranking is just about right among the Arcadian Space Sims (as in you're flying along and you can "break" as if you had tires gripping the road as hard as Paris Hilton is holding out for the opportunity for house arrest; also, space navigation is actually feasible through the cunning use of way-points; further, ships move nice and easily and as frequently has Hades sadly attempts to flirt with Darque; lastly, trading is simply yet additively implemented and basically consists of buying low and selling high). However, out of the games from recent times, the rankings would probably be X3, X2, and Eve-Online out of the Newtonian Space Sims (as in you're flying really fast and cut power to the engines but continue to spiral along like an unwanted Jorian on a spamming spree; also, space navigation consists of aimlessly wandering through space with the glimmer of hope of encountering something to shoot at, however, upon the realization that there really will never ever be anything to shoot at, you start shooting at random pieces of rock (AKA "mining") and pretend that something special will rather fortuitously pop out; further, ships move about as fast as a knocked-up Rosie O'Donnell and react much slower when subjected to hostile fire; and lastly, even an economics degree from Harvard School of Business WILL NOT guarantee you fiscal success, as you watch your credits slowly dwindle before your very eyes into the depths of space where only Chuck Norris can hear you scream). So ... is X3 better than Freelancer? Newtonian Space Sims are strictly inferior to their Arcadian counterparts and thus Freelancer is better than X3 by default. Morgoth and Kefka are right: X3 lacks soul and is something you want to quit in about 10 mins (which, incidentally, is what Bok & I did yesterday with EVE-online). Freelancer will go down in gaming hall of fame as one of the best shooting space ass games of all time.

Are you at least administering your WoW vicariously these days, or are you still injecting it straight to the cerebellum?

It's not impossible. I used to bull's-eye womp rats in my T-sixteen back home. "Hey, could I talk to you privately for a second?"

Just finished Darkstar One. It's the closest thing to Freelancer that I've played since Freelancer, but also is much much a poor-man's rendition of Freelancer.

Pictorial tales of my exploits from Darkstar One: Cruising across those busy space lanes. -- I'm actually that little orange shell right in the middle of the screen, sticking close that fat ship that's about to blow up. I was pretty much able to single handedly take out the Thul cruiser with my little fighter ship with the aid of that orange plasma shield around my ship. After torping the living daylights out of its shields, I just got up close and starting ramming the damn thing into oblivion. Fortunately, I somehow managed to get close enough to the cap ship to avoid its minimum turret radius from taking effect.

They could probably kick France's ass though. France has the toughest army in the world....but of course none of them are French, that's why they have the French foreign legion. *sends Hilde a birthday telegram* "Bon Anniversaire"
