There's a <A href="http://videogames.yahoo.com/gamereview?cid=1993646107&tab=reviews&page=0&eid=475605">review</a> of <A href="http://www.darkstar-one.com">Darkstar One</a> up on <A href="http://videogames.yahoo.com/">Yahoo VideoGames</a>, which doesn't sound nearly as good as the name <i>Games Domain</i> did. They seemed to like a lot about it, and gave it a <b>3.5/5 stars</b>. The quick cons of the title are only having one ship, missions get old after a while, and not enough freedom:
<br>
<blockquote>It's a pattern that never changes, even when the opportunity arises to take on side missions or help out with 'official' campaigns against pirates. Darkstar promises an open-ended experience, and indeed there are choices to be made, between piracy, being a mercenary or cargo captain, etc, but the scenario promises so much more. There's nothing like the open-ended play of Oblivion, where you can ignore the central story altogether.</blockquote>

Actually, I'm pretty sure you can ignore the story. Pretty sure I read that in one of the interviews.

Well... I'm pretty sure you can't. If you don't want to hang around in the same small "area"/galaxy/whatever the rest of the game...

Originally, I think you were supposed to be able to ignore the story. In the final product, however, it seems to move farther into the universe, you must complete some of the storyline.
